This was fun. The subtitle is 'a trip to the most unusual churches of the world'. However that was almost certainly the publisher's idea. It isn't. Not that many of these churches aren't unusual. They are. But the author, in his introduction, suggests that wherever we travel we will find churches that are worth visiting, even if nobody knows about them. He then goes on to introduce about 70 churches. The order is random. There are very old churches next to brand new ones, from many different denominations - and none. Simple, magnificent, large, small, from all the continents.

Each church is shown by one photograph and a very short text. You are always left wanting more. But that is the point. Most of these churches would be worth a book of their own. I'm sure many have them. But this book is to get you onto a journey to find your own unusual churches, to get you to think about the unusual churches you have visited. My list would be different from his. ( )
