If you don’t laugh at awkward Christian side hugs or t-shirts with popular brands reworked as witnessing tools, perhaps you shouldn’t buy Stuff Christians Like. But as a pastor’s kid who now works in ministry, I’ve come to learn that if we can’t laugh at ourselves, we’re taking ourselves too seriously.

Jon Acuff is a satiric hero who crafts epic story-telling, powerful life lessons, and hilarious Christian blunders in a language which is real and raw, yet comically palatable. How someone can be ridiculously hilarious and yet an authentic believer in Jesus Christ, makes me jealous. In fact, I am jealous. If I didn’t like him so much, I’d rip off his material.
If you don’t want another Christian dating book or devotional on joy-filled living, get this book and laugh about mission-trip romances, virgins and unicorns, and why Mormons are slightly nicer than Christians. The way I see it, the early Church had symbols of their fraternity by drawing the Christendom fish in the sand. I propose we drop phrases like Booty-God-Booty or buttons proclaiming we [heart] side hugs.
Why? Because if we can’t laugh at ourselves, we are taking ourselves too seriously.
Jon Acuff can be found blogging daily and highly recommend you check out some of his favorite posts! Better yet, order his book here.
