I’m Fine With God…It’s Christians I Can’t Stand

Happy Weekend! For those of you who are off from work, I thought I would pop in and post about the most interesting book that I came across at work yesterday. Bruce Bickel and Stan Jantz have written an un-apologetic rant against Christians they describe as "very much like the Pharisees of Jesus’ day". This new 2008 original trade paperback release caught my eye while shelving this afternoon and after just a quick glimpse I just knew I would have to blog about it right away.
Bickel and Jantz who have written over 50 books together, many of then Christian themed have decided it’s time for real Christians to stand up and condemn the outrageous behavior of their more colorful Christian counterparts, such as the Rev. Fred Phelps (the "Got Hates Fags" Folks) and others who clearly seem to lose sight of Jesus’ message of love and compassion for your fellor humans, rather than a humorousless doctrinaire existence of rigid, inflexible rules. I’m Fine With God…It’s Christians I Can’t Stand comes Highly Recommended.
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and I will be back in this space on Monday night to share more books that have recently crossed The Thin Red Line.
