A great book for those confused about what is true Christianity--or ANYONE to read! Miller is truly unique and moving in his case.

If you think honoring God means lacing your book with raw language, making it clear that you think your fellow Christians are anti-intellectual and deserve your contempt while atheists are far more intellectual; if you think that you should be the spokesman who asks nonbelievers for forgiveness on behalf of all other Christians then this book is for you.
If you need to believe that you can conform to popular culture rather than view yourself as one "set apart" (Psalm 4:3) Then you will probably join all the other (presumably very young) professing Christians that call this the "best book they've ever read in their whole life!!!!"
