Book Description
The hilarious, sparkling and endearing diaries of a thirty something Christian, Theodora Llewellyn.
From the Back Cover
The hilarious, sparkling and endearing diaries of a thirtysomething Christian, Theodora Llewellyn. Imagine that Bridget Jones was a Christian. Imagine that Adrian Plass was female. Imagine that Fever Pitch was written from the girlfriend's perspective. If you can, you are coming close to understanding Theodora Llewellyn.
She lives in a small village outside of Sidcup and has attended St Norbert's, the village church, for as long as she can remember. She has been going out with Kevin, a plumber and a football fanatic, for almost ten years. Her diary records her search for her "ministry" and her attempts to get along with her family, work colleagues and St Norbert's rather eccentric congregation. Her main ambition is to avoid the ultra-religious Charity Hubble with her brood of children and flowery frocks.
Theodora feels the pressure to settle down as all around her, women are having babies, and even her career-minded sister becomes pregnant. Evangelism, pastoral work and becoming the next Pope prove to be unsuitable "ministries" as Theodora struggles to find her place in God's plan.

Laughter Is The Best Medicine,
By
This review is from: Theodoras Diary (Paperback)
Laughter is the best medicine and "Theodora's Diary" proves to be the tonic for whatever ails you. I came across this gem of a book two weeks ago after having a frustrating day in "stay at home wife/mommyland". It saved my sanity! The book is written in the style of "Bridget Jones Diary" with a Christian theme. You will laugh till your sides hurt or until your neighbors will think you have "gone 'round the bend" as you read about Theodora's life. The characters are memorable, the comic timing is perfect and the message is relevant for today's women. Grab a chocolate bar, curl up in your armchair and enjoy the laughter!

Witty, but not hilarious,
By A Customer
This review is from: Theodoras Diary (Paperback)
I'm amazed people think this is laugh-out-loud funny. The writing is clever, even witty, but many of the jokes fall flat. I think this book would be funnier if it weren't being marketed as a "Christian" novel, which it barely classifies as such. The characters are quirky, the language and story-line are clean and unoffensive, but the whole book is just so-so. Read "Flabbergasted" by Ray Blackston instead.

Great New Author - Great New Characters,
By A Customer
This review is from: Theodoras Diary (Paperback)
I've read both of Penny Culliford's books, and I hope this will be a continuing series. The characters are fun, quirky and EXTREMELY well developed. There is a bit of Theodora in all of us and I want to know what happens after the wedding! This is a LOL, can't-put-it-down read. (I read "Theodora's Wedding" in one sitting.)TO Penny: PLEASE KEEP WRITING! We need more writers who can capture a woman's heart and soul without compromising her virtue.
