About this item
"In the tradition of Waiter Rant, a saucy look at life behind the beverage cart. Ever since Coffee, Tea or Me? was first published in the swinging sixties, the reading public has been enamored with stewardesses. In Cabin Fever, former Virgin Atlantic flight attendant Mandy Smith updates the genre, sharing the good, the bad, and the downright naughty about life in the air. Smith's jet-setting job took her to many exotic locations, and on the way she enjoyed plenty of steamy love affairs-even joining the Mile High Club. Whether she's performing CPR on a pilot mid-flight or sipping Manhattans in the Big Apple, Cabin Fever provides plenty of risque; in-flight entertainment!"--"Mandy Smith spent twelve years strutting down the aisles as one of Richard Branson's sexy and sassy flight attendants.

Here, with great care, Mandy Smith manages to reframe what it means to be a pastor and to infuse it with the life of the gospel. I truly tell you that The Vulnerable Pastor resonated with the core of my being. It not only made being a pastor possible again, it made being a pastor wonderful." (David Fitch, B. R. Lindner Chair of Evangelical Theology, Northern Seminary, author of Prodigal Christianity) (Of "Making a Mess") : "Mandy Smith is a provocateur of imagination and holy mischief. Here is an invitation to play with God. May it spark something in you that will bend the world a little closer to Jesus and to justice." Shane Claiborne(Of "Life is Too Important") : "The biggest questions are still the oldest ones: Where do I find meaning? What produces authentic joy? How do I live well and wisely in light of my finitude? Every once in a while someone raises these questions in a fresh, light-giving way. This is Mandy Smith's gift to us."John Ortberg
