Summary: It's Funny Because It's True
Review: This little book packs a punch. The author helps you to know what to do to be an effective Christian by pretending to tell you how to be a bad Christian. It is not surprising that Adrian Plass wrote the foreword, because it is very much in the style of his writing.Here are some snippets which I enjoyed:
On the page where you would usually find acknowledgments or a dedication, you will read instead
"An ineffective Christian never remembers to thank anyone under any circumstances. Might as well learn that before you begin this book."
Habit 1: Dichotomize Your Life. Truly ineffective Christians apportion their lives into secular and sacred components.
Habit 2: Make tolerance your god. Accept anything and everything. All viewpoints are not only valid but also equal.
Habit 20: Seek the quick, self-help solution. Look for easy answers. Trust your instincts.
Habit 22: Make music the big issue. Base your musical taste only on style. He even includes a hymn:
Come, thou Fount of every blessing
Give me what I want today.
Entertainment never ceasing
Paths of comfort line my way. Lots of fun, but also much to chew on in this little gem.
