“If you buy this book, God will make you rich.”
This is the beginning of a wonderful dish of satire, a helping of humor, with a main dish of conviction. “Does the stuff we like, ever get in the way of the God we love?” Jon asks.
Do you have a loved one who will not read a “Christian” book to save their life? This is the book for them. Have you grown up in the church and experienced the casseroles, the bible study groups, the feelings of guilt? This is the book for you. Acuff in Stuff Christians Like, will have you laughing out loud, while convicting your heart at the same time.
From the back cover:
Sometimes, we fall in love on mission trips even though we know we’ll break up when we get back. Sometimes, you have to shot block a friend’s prayer because she’s asking God to bless an obviously bad dating relationship. Sometimes, you think, ‘I wish I had a t-shirt that said ‘I direct deposit my tithe’ so people wouldn’t judge me.’ Sometimes, the stuff that comes with faith is funny. This is that stuff.
Jonathan Acuff’s Stuff Christians Like is your field guide to all things Christian. In it you’ll learn the culinary magic of the crock-pot. Think you’ve got a Metro worship leader—Use Acuff’s checklist. Want to avoid a prayer handholding faux pas? Acuff has you covered. Like a satirical grenade, Acuff brings us the humor and honesty that galvanized more than a million online readers from more than 200 countries in a new portable version.
Welcome to the funny side of faith.
