The Christian Culture Survival Guide: The Misadventures of an Outsider on the Inside
By Matthew Paul Turner
By taking a hilarious look at the peculiarities and churchisms that have been added to this thing called Christianity, The Christian Culture Survival Guide leaves you with a knowing smile and the reassurance that true faith is only found in Jesusónot in the gift aisle at the Heaven Sent Christian Bookstore.
You know you've survived Christian culture if ...
—You've ever thrown out all your "secular" CDs ... only to replace them a year later.
—Your vocabulary has ever been peppered with words like "burden" or "fellowship."
—For graduation, you were given a Thomas Kinkade painting.
—You've actually tried a pack of Testamints.
—You wash your car with a T-shirt that says "GAP-God Answers Prayer."
