      A humorous look at the rise of the evangelicals. The book takes the form of a how-to field guide, instructing you on how to recognize and interact with evangelicals, including working with them, attending their church, and having them in your home. There are some genuinely laugh-out-loud funny moments in here. The author doesn't present or pretend to present a scholarly work full of research; he's gently mocking the group, and because of this, the book will appeal primarily to those who are fine with mocking religion. In some places, the author uses research findings, but is too accepting of the findings of surveys, even though numerous studies have demonstrated that people will lie on anonymous surveys, usually to make themselves look better. The chapter on evangelical sex could have been improved if the author had been a bit more aware of those findings. Otherwise, a fun, easy to read book.

      Billed as satire, this I See wildly hilarious throughout, and yet so spot on that it is hard to distinguish between satire and fact. A quick read,and quite fun.

      If nothing else, I now know why Thomas Kinkaid is so popular. This book amusingly considers who Evangelical Christians are, and how they're different from other people-including how to infiltrate their community without getting endless phonecalls from the Welcome Committee.
