Stuff Christians Like, by Jonathan Acuff

**I have not been compensated for this review, in either money or free product. This is a review of my own free will, just because I want to!**

Ok, my review in one sentence. Ready? Here you go: Funniest book ever!

The audio version of "Stuff Christians Like" was free on www.christianaudio.com during the month of April. I'd never read Acuff's blog, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

I've now listened to the book a few times, as read by the author, and I have to say: I've laughed out loud at this book more than most books. Acuff's observations are spot on, sometimes scarily so. Things like not wanting Jesus to return before your wedding night, his description of modern pastors (I'm trying not to ruin anything for you!), and more will make you giggle and then guffaw.

This book is for Christians who can laugh at themselves, similar to one of my favorites: "A Field Guide to Evangelicals and Their Habitats," by Joel Kirkpatrick (HarperOne, 2002). Pick it up and settle in - it's a fast read (or listen), and well worth it.

Happy reading!
