Ever wonder what happened to Willie Aames? I hadn’t either until I came across the chapter on Bibleman in Daniel Radosh’s Rapture Ready.
From skater devotionals to the UCW (Ultimate Christian Wrestling), Radosh has pulled together a surprising page-turner on Christian culture. Radosh, who is Jewish, examines the multi-faceted marketplace where Jesus is the reason to spend your money. He spends nary a moment at an actual church service but divides his time between passion plays, raves, and comedy acts.
Journey with him to get Kirk Cameron’s autograph inside a mock museum of evolution (Exhibit A: “The Ascent of Women (rescheduled due to hair appointment)”), hang out at the Cornerstone music festival (“Why Should the Devil Have all the Good Music?”), and sit in on a seminar on sex ( "We discovered that God’s Word is holy and hot.”).
But wait, there’s more. A handy web appendix of video clips allow the table of contents to speak for themselves.
Testamint, anyone?

"He that loves a book will never want a faithful friend, a wholesome counselor, a cheerful companion, an effectual comforter. By study, by reading, by thinking, one may innocently divert and pleasantly entertain himself, as in all weathers, as in all fortunes." -Barrow
