Summary:Ted Foote and Alex Thornburg, authors of the acclaimed Being Presbyterian in the Bible Belt, return with a book that engagingly and wittily examines Christian discipleship in the midst of the postmodern world. With chapter titles such as "Is God Eccentric or Comfortably Middle Class?" "How Much is Grace, or is it Just Cheap?" "What Would Jesus Drive?" and "Am I My Siblings' Keeper, or Are They the Weakest Links?" Foote and Thornburg once again make a fun and enlightening read out of weighty theological topics. Includes study.
