Reviews
"Daniel Radosh writes about Christian culture with brilliance, humor and understanding. Everyone should read this book -- with the possible exception of Stephen Baldwin (see page 143)."-- A.J. Jacobs, author ofThe Know-It-AllandThe Year of Living Biblically, "Goes beyond mockery to engage seriously with Christian believers who make, consume, and even criticize Christian pop culture." -- TheAtlantic.com, "Goes beyond mockery to engage seriously with Christian believers who make, consume, and even criticize Christian pop culture."-- TheAtlantic.com, "As an outsider, he sees things that all of us who grew up in this little world either slide past, choose to ignore or shrug off." -- Relevant Magazine, Radosh's entertaining, often enlightening guide to a $7 billion industry cruises through the complex, diverse world of Christian pop culture...He takes his role of reporter in an unfamiliar land seriously, yet he isn't afraid to use his well-honed wit to good advantage." --Booklist, "Radosh has the astute sense of a journalist and the evocative humor of a stand-up comic."--Publisher's Weekly, "What happens when a secular liberal enters the conservative Christian subculture? Yes, he's grossed out at times, appalled at least once, amused sometimes and cussin-mad at others -- and maybe even a little scared on occasion. But in the end, he offers evaluations and insights that might be considered downright prophetic and compassionate too. No evangelical insider could have done as good a job as Daniel Radosh. He's a witty, energetic, and insightful writer who grabs your attention and interest on page one and won't let go until he's escorted you to a powerful conclusion in the final paragraphs." -- Brian McLaren, author ofA New Kind of ChristianandEverything Must Change, "Radosh's entertaining, often enlightening guide to a $7 billion industry cruises through the complex, diverse world of Christian pop culture...He takes his role of reporter in an unfamiliar land seriously, yet he isn't afraid to use his well-honed wit to good advantage." -- Booklist, "Radosh's entertaining, often enlightening guide to a $7 billion industry cruises through the complex, diverse world of Christian pop culture...He takes his role of reporter in an unfamiliar land seriously, yet he isn't afraid to use his well-honed wit to good advantage."--Booklist, "Radosh has discovered a world that is hilarious, unpredictable, and lucrative! It seems there's a foreign country in America and it's right down the street...and now I'm not so sure that I'm not the foreigner."-- Sam Seder, Air America Radio, "As an outsider, he sees things that all of us who grew up in this little world either slide past, choose to ignore or shrug off."--Relevant Magazine, "As an outsider, he sees things that all of us who grew up in this little world either slide past, choose to ignore or shrug off." --Relevant Magazine
