How to be a Perfect Christian *****
by The Babylon Bee
This book makes fun of Christians in a variety of areas including: finding a church, worship, pastors, community service, worldview, etc.
The book itself is well put together. The hardcover is nice and the graphics. But alas, the quality ends on the cover.
The book is from a Christian publisher, and yet I didn't feel that the book was at all in good taste or helpful or encouraging in any way. I read the first chapter and then flipped through it a bit.
The satire continues to the last page. I thought this quote right near the end was right on. Right after talking about Jesus's sacrifice of love on the cross, it says: "But this whole book would then be pointless because being a Christian wouldn't be about doing the right things and avoiding the wrong things. It would be about glorifying God in our lives because we adore and trust the One who loved us enough to give up everything for us. "
So, I agree with the author that this book is pointless.
I received this book for free from Penguin Random House in exchange for an honest review. #PRHpartner
