<p>The book was amazing.&nbsp; Here is a quip from Publishers Weekly:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Screenwriter Stennett offers a satirical look at a non-Christian&#8217;s ascent to pastor of a megachurch in this engaging, highly readable novel. Ryan Fisher is a 28-year-old real estate agent who doesn&#8217;t believe in God, but lists himself in the Christian Business Directory (along with a Jesus fish symbol) to beef up sales. He and his wife, Katherine, attend church to validate his new religious image, where he sees the possibilities of utilizing business principles to create his own megachurch. They move to Bartlesville, Okla., and create &#8220;The People&#8217;s Church&#8221; where Ryan preaches a feel-good, do-good gospel (&#8220;I&#8217;m not encumbered by things like the Bible and Jesus&#8221;). As church numbers swell, Oprah calls, local pastors are on the warpath, a religious fanatic plots Ryan&#8217;s assassination, and Katherine is smitten with Cowboy Jack, a karaoke singer-turned-worship leader who pens Christian lyrics to popular radio tunes. Is Ryan in over his head? Interesting narration and Dave Barryesque footnotes make this humorous entertainment with a faith-based message.&#8221; — Publishers Weekly</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>I would highly recommend this book. I would give it a grade of A!</p>
