Following the success of his Adrian's first collection, Nebuchadnezzar's Marmalade Pot, his new book, Archbishop Benson's Humming Top comprises sixty brief essays adapted from sermons as well as articles previously published in the Church Times.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49552164159761,"sku":"GOR010713541","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49557971337489,"sku":"GOR010618268","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1912575221.jpg?v=1751155632"},{"product_id":"nebuchadnezzar-s-marmalade-pot-book-adrian-leak-9781912083947","title":"Nebuchadnezzar's Marmalade Pot","description":"A collection of 80 short pieces, ranging widely over topics related to church occasions and Christian faith.

Anecdotal, humorous and allusive, much of the material is drawn from Adrian Leak’s life as an Anglican priest including chapters on life at Oxford University, at York Minster and three country parishes.    “Melchizedek gives us a glimpse of the Church of England in the second half of the 20th century, seen through the eyes of a priest whose contrasting ministries in council estate, rural parishes, and cathedrals ancient and modern, describe a mostly vanished church and different world. It is a timely warning to the Church of England not to discard completely its care for everyone, whether they go to church or not.” – Nigel McCulloch, former Bishop of Manchester","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49741951861009,"sku":"NGR9781914471766","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51885215187217,"sku":"GOR013199974","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53097601597713,"sku":"GOR014738784","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1914471768.jpg?v=1751439170"},{"product_id":"archbishop-benson-s-humming-top-rare-book-adrian-leak-1697098715alk","title":"Archbishop Benson's Humming Top","description":"2018.
