Stuff Christians Like

Sometimes we fall in love on mission trips, even though we know we’ll break up when we get back. Sometimes you have to shot-block a friend’s prayer because she’s asking God to bless an obviously bad dating relationship. Sometimes, you think, “I wish I had a t-shirt that said ‘I direct deposit my tithe’ so people wouldn’t judge me.”

Sometimes, the stuff that comes with faith is funny. Or ironic.

This is that stuff.

Jonathan Acuff’s Stuff Christians Like is a field guide to all things “American Christian sub-culture.” Want to avoid stuff like a prayer handholding faux pas? Acuff has you covered.

He noticed Christian in marketing tend to swipe and adapt others’ ideas like going from “Got Milk?” to “Got God?” So he parodied the practice by creating a blog that was a take-off of “Stuff White People Like.” It was a smash hit, so he got it produced in book form. Check out the blog at http://www.stuffchristianslike.net/.

Oh, and his publisher provided me with a review copy, because if I had to purchase all the books and videos I mention/review here, I would have to turn over my whole paycheck to Amazon. I wonder if I could do that through direct deposit?
