Meet Katy - six years ago, she thought she had life all worked out. She was in her early 20s, had a home, a good job and a happy marriage, and thought that was it. As for God, she was absolutely certain she knew all about him and he definitely didn't exist... Fast forward to today, and you'll find her wearing a dog collar, having been ordained in the Church of England in 2014.
I Think it's God Calling is Katy's true, amusing and revealing story from doubter to deacon. The story of an outsider torn from the norms of fashion... yes, shoes do play a big part, riotous hen parties and a delightfully (or perhaps not) proportioned home in the land of footballers wives... who suddenly finds herself totally unprepared for being an insider in the process to train for ministry.
Follow her on her journey - from her first encounter with God through Compline (that's a prayer, not a dietary supplement), through several gruelling rounds of Tea and a Chat with Church of England interviewers, to a college run by monks in Yorkshire (complete with Harry Potter cloaks) and finally out into the parish, guided by the sage advice of the bishop not to get drunk or wear jeans to important meetings!
This is a personal story, a story of a woman in a man's world but, in the end, it's not really about Katy, It's about God, and the amazing things he does with the most unlikely people.
Inspiring, honest and definitely funny!
