I can't put it down. Caught my eye at B&N..over a latte I skimmed some pages...smirked wildly as I read it...and thought Oh I gotta get this..and did....can't wait to finish but kind of sad when it ends..cause it's really something I look forward to reading every evening.

I definitely read this book in a weekend. Best book I've read this year

I finally read this book I've been hearing about! I graduated from both LCA and LU... over 10 years and 4 kids later, my life with Christ is richer than ever but my political views now sway "the other direction" (I'd say BECAUSE of my relationship with Jesus, not in spite of it) so from that point of view (feeling like a political black sheep) I ... See Morereally appreciated your book. The first half, I laughed out loud in public on multiple occasions! But from somewhere mid-point on I was just compelled on a deeper level and couldn't put it down... partly because I knew you were coming to the point of Jerry's passing, but also simply because you're just a fantastic writer, so transparent, so descriptive. I felt like I knew you and all your friends before it was done - even your family... excellent, excellent.

Thanks Catherine, Stephen, and Tina!

great book..excellent job on staying open minded and neutral...

A fabulous read for anyone wanting a bit of insight into the culture that is the Christian Right. Growing-up part of that you nailed it on the head. I am now the black sheep of the family with my left-wing views but I enjoyed your journey to the Other side and found myself chuckling out loud. Took the quiz and got 14/15! Your writing and story-telling are amazing and I wish you much success in your life! Thank you for sharing.

I'm late to the game- heard the interview when my NPR station re-ran it last weekend. I'm originally from the Shenandoah Valley and grew up hearing all the Falwell folklore. I ran out to get the book & read it in one sitting! Fabulous, excellent piece of work!

Kevin: Love the book! So insightful and authentic. I know several Liberty students who work at Sandy Cove, a Christian camp & retreat center in MD, during the summers. Is this the camp that "Anna" worked at in 2007? Just wondering?! Do you have a next project in mind? Would love to talk with you about Scott Peck's stages of spiritual growth found in his book "The Different Drum". It changed my life!

BYU is where its at :)

You did such a great job with this book, Kevin - I just finished reading it and I've been raving about it to everyone. As an ex-evangelical myself, it really struck home - your observations and conclusions were dead on, but fair. Really nice job, Rooster.
