Do you want a laugh? Pick up this book and read a little of it. I did that in the store one day and decided to bring it home with me. I am always glad for a good laugh. After I got home with it, before I had a chance to read it, Stephen picked it up and disappeared with it into another room. He finished it that night. :-)
If you like sarcasm, cynicism, laughing at yourself or your friends, you'll enjoy this book. Don't do what I did. I read it pretty much straight through and, at the end, asked myself why I bothered to read it. LOL A little sarcasm goes a long way.
Anyway, the author 'pokes' fun at many of our Christian inconsistencies, idiosyncrasies, and idiocies. Virtually nothing is too holy to come under his cynical pen. I really wish I hadn't read it all at once because it left a bad taste in my mouth. I did enjoy many of the entries and laughed quite a bit. So, I truly think the problem wasn't what he wrote but simply that I read too many of them too close together. Sort of like eating too many sweets because they taste good but realizing afterwards that you really regret it because it makes you feel sick. A little would have been great; the whole package was yuck. LOL In the same way, this book is quite fun and funny when taken a little at a time. So, get the book and put it in a conspicuous place and pick it up every day or so and read an entry or two for a good laugh.
Happy Reading. And laughing. :-)
Good job! You make this sound interesting, piquing my interest just enough to make me want to read it to see what you are talking about. :-))
