The Book - Out Now!

There's a book, you know! One of the best books I've read, ever! (At least in the books I've read about someone accidentally beginning a cult.)

Random Acts of Kindness book

It is rumoured that a new book will be published in November 2004 containing 365 ideas for Random Acts of Kindness.

Sometime last year (2003) Danny asked joinees for their favourite RAoKs.

More details when I get news.

Amazon review

This is my review for the book, which appears on the Amazon.co.uk website. (Copyright for this review now belongs to Amazon.)

Chapter 10 is my favourite!, 17 September, 2003
Reviewer: Gareth J M Saunders from Edinburgh, Lothian, United Kingdom
I'm not really the kind of guy who joins organisations. Okay, so I was in the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Air Training Corps, and am now a priest in the Church, but as I was saying joining organisations isn't really my cup of tea. Or rather it is, as I don't drink tea. But Join Me is different. Let me start at the beginning.
I joined. Near the beginning. You can read about it if you like in this book (chapter 10, begins on page 118 when you get to it). It's not a cult, it's a collective, I was told and I believed Danny. Why should I disbelieve the bloke? he helps old men, he visits Belgium, he asks his joinees to do random acts of kindness every Friday. He even invented a new word: joinee -- try looking that up at dictionary.com!
This is the book of something very, very silly, but at the same time something so beautifully simple and wonderful how can it possibly go wrong? This is a beautifully and hilariously written book, by a shambling, truly postmodern cult leader of the most humble kind.
Why not do someone a good deed and buy them a copy too when you order yours.
