Satire is alive and well. For every person who has ever cringed at boxes of "Christian" breath mints or "Christian" perfume at the checkout counter of the local Christian bookstore, here is a writer who understands your pain.

The effective humor of LarkNews.com-known online for confusing the satirically challenged-fills every page of this book. But be warned, Kilpatrick is an evangelical insider, and as such, his humor cuts so close to the truth that at times it will make you simultaneously laugh and squirm.
