Wow! I'm a pastor who likes to use humor in my messages a lot. I have done some stand up at different times, but I feel it's a call to make the Good News seem like it's good to hear, too. I've been getting hammered a lot lately by the Serious Police, who think that being funny from the pulpit is somehow not being serious about God. Thanks for the reminder that God is snarky, and that a whole generation of people are staring down the barrel of a Christ-less eternity if they don't hear how much God loves them, even if they have to laugh to get it. I was blessed by this, thank you!!!!

I need to read this book. Love the gold tooth story. The shocking lamentation at the end... "but I miss that fire, that passion, that power..." yeah. Definitely. Thanks for the interview CT!

I'm getting this book for me. I read so many books and transcribe so many sermons on my website for others. This one is for me, because I need it. Shalom, Pete

I am SO GLAD she has written this book because it sounds a lot like the book I'm trying to write, except I can't find the humor in it. My relationship with God is like a bad marriage where divorce is not an option, and I've been telling people this for years and no one gets it. She even uses a lot of the same phrases I've been using to describe our "marriage"! I'm so thankful for this book, because sometimes you feel like you're the only one out there that has felt this way. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
