The Church That Had Too Much, (Paperback)

The Church That Had Too Much was well-intentioned. She wanted to love God, she wanted to love people, but she was both hampered by her muchness and the abundance of her possessions, and beset by ambition, power struggles and snobbery. Read about the surprising way The Church That Had Too Much began to resolve her problems in this deceptively simple and fable, illustrated in full colour.
