Adrian Plass je autor a řečník, jehož dílo se vyznačuje jemnou satirou na moderní církev a hlubokým zamyšlením nad lidskou vírou. Jeho psaní, často označované za „dlouhé zpovědi“, zkoumá autorovy vlastní nedostatky a boje jako křesťana i jako člověka, s cílem komunikovat potřebu autenticity ve víře. S humorem, poezií a vyprávěním příběhů, často revolving around his own inadequacies and struggles as a Christian and a human being, Plass oslovuje široké publikum. Jeho díla, včetně biografií, románů, povídek a sbírek poezie, cestují po celém světě a jsou překládána do mnoha jazyků, odrážejíc jeho ústřední motivaci – lásku k Ježíši a přesvědčení, že „Bůh je milý a má mě rád…“.
In this second diary, the fictional character Plass is in demand as a public speaker which demands a new diary revealing what has happened to the outrageous Gerald, the joyless Flushpools, incompetent Leonard, the long- suffering Anne and the other well-known characters.

Here are the stalwarts of his church: tippling Leonard Thynn, the Flushpools and peerless young feminist Andromeda Veal.
