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.
