Synopsis:

Written in the trademark style of The Babylon Bee, this book humorously satirizes cultural Christianity while peppering in subtle challenges to the reader. Through humor and sarcasm (and a handy meter to rank your "holiness" as you progress through the book), readers will be called to find a more biblical understanding of the Christian faith, all while poking fun at the quirks of the modern American Christian community.

Review:

I beg you to NOT get through 2 pages of this hysterically funny book, without snorting out loud. SERIOUSLY:
According to recent research, every single town in America has a minimum of 6,521,587 churches to choose from...
If you live in the South, that sentence just sent you off your chair- cause you know your town has 2 pages in the yellow pages MINIMUM of churches. And that's a SMALL town! That's the type of off-hand thoughts and comments in the book, that will have you laughing out loud while reading this book!

I had not actually heard of The Babylon Bee, prior to receiving the book (I KNOW, I KNOW), but after reading 3 chapters, I spent 15 minutes checking the website out and realizing, I was going to have to make it a daily addition to my life! Besides daily Christian news, the website offers great lifestyle and entertainment items. While we need our faith, we also need some daily humor to make life's stresses not seem so bad! This book takes some of the satirical info from the website, adds in some that had been perculating, and condenses it into a handy book.

if you know a Christian that could use a few laughs or ten thousand, then this is the book to give. Trust me, you'll be sharing it so much, you might as well get each of your friends a copy! It's perfect for vacation reading, and keeping the key in that aisle seat from being too talkative and chummy, when he reads the title, and thinks it's a serious book!
