Review: STUFF CHRISTIANS LIKE by Jonathan Acuff

I heard an audio recording of this book, read by the author. That made all the difference.

Acuff is a funny writer, which is rare enough in our evangelical subculture that it's worth mentioning. It's his his comments made while reading the book that really make it hilarious, though.

That brings up the problem. Most of the book's humor comes from the juxtaposition of what Christians  say with what what they actually do. In other words, it depends on the hypocrisy of the average Christian. 

A lot comes from Acuff's own skill and talent. He's a genuinely funny person, though "funny" is notoriously subjective. I liked it and reinstalled it, but yuan mileage may vary.
