Description

THE GOD WITH SORE LEGSThe God with Sore Legs is the highly acclaimed debut book from Church of Ireland Minister Adrian McCartney.Described as a 'meeting of minds between Bill Bryson, Bradley Wiggins and Jesus' - 'The God with Sore Legs' takes you on an epic journey of highs and lows, laughter and tears as Adrian races through the Irish countryside on his bike, drawing parallels between the journey and John's Gospel. A book that draws you in irrespective of your attitude to faith or fitness - it is a remarkable accomplishment for a debut book.Adrian described the inspiration behind the book: "Writing this book was inspired by three of my favourite things - the humour of Jerome K Jerome in 'Three Men in a Boat' and its lesser known sequel 'Three Men on the Bummel' (in this case on bikes), the mixture of the adventure and physical challenge of a bike ride and the possibility of communicating the gospel stories to people of any or no faith."It is an eclectic mix and not the usual building blocks for writing a book but that's just like life - we all wish things were perfect and ordered but real life isn't like that. It's random, a little messy and a bit of a journey into the unknown, but that's where we learn the most and have the most fun. That's hopefully what comes across in "The God with Sore Legs."Richard Ryan from the Good Book Shop added: "The journey in this book is not just a geographical journey- it's also a spiritual one, told with great humour, painful reality, honesty and a very deep theology. You're left wanting more by the end of it, and left hoping that another journey will spur on another book in the not too distant future.""Gary, do you fancy cycling round Ireland?" "When?" "Tomorrow!"It was as simple as that.Gary, Ryan, Adrian and Nigel share an adventure for which they have little preparation or experience. The sense of adventure makes them think again as they begin to explore all sorts of things that have affected them for many years - things like faith and hope and relationships and purpose.The beauty of this book is that it allows the reader to watch and listen, yet gives room if he or she would like to join in. You will eventually want to get on your own bike and have an adventure with a bunch of mates like Gary, Ryan and Nigel.Seriously, though, If you are looking for a Michael Palin or a Ranulph Fiennes then check under P or F. However, if you fancy an adventure with a bunch of guys who are mostly just trying to get up the next hill and find the next menu, then I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
