Publisher's Synopsis
These quirky, provocative and terribly true stories speak for themselves. Often hard-hitting, but not without moments of extraordinary grace and humor and raw honesty.
The stories are potent lessons in themselves. They speak to the 'walking wounded' of the churches as well as truth seekers and those struggling to make sense of their unique metaphysical journeys. They are offered simply and without commentary for the Soul is wise.
An excerpt from The 1st Church of Bob:
After yet another long and arduous search for a place of worship and higher learning, I finally settled on the First Church of Bob.
How one finds a church like this must remain undisclosed, you understand.
Perhaps 'It' finds 'You'.
But what works for me would probably never work for you...
From Psycho Taxi Boy:
The uniquely infuriating Mike Bacon aka Psycho Taxi Boy...
Our last big blowup was 5 or 6 months before.
He had insulted me to the limits of my patience...over some alleged scandalous behavior of church leaders.
Now Michael had no patience for religious types.
I had little myself, but he had brought his point home
in a stunningly dreadful way.
Now, word for word, no one on the planet has a better command of the English language than a denizen of the American South.
They are easily the most colorful, artful and entertaining of the speakers.
They certainly do the most with the least.
Homespun wit and native intellect merge in a wickedly punchy brew.
Consider the likes of Tom Robbins if you don't believe me...
