This one comes from On Course magazine. Honestly, I’ve never heard of it, but that’s probably because I don’t have too much experience with the Assembly of God denomination. I think it’s a magazine specifically for their members. Nevertheless, I’m thankful they liked the book. Check out what they wrote…
Churched, by Matthew Paul Turner is hilarious.
Of course, there’s plenty more to say about it than that, but right off the bat, that’s what you need to know. If you want nothing more from a book then to laugh out loud, Churched is a book for you.
What’s really great about Churched, though, is that it’s so much more than just a good laugh. Through light-hearted humor, Turner explores the many follies and foibles so many American churches face.
The book details Turner’s childhood and adolescence in an extremely legalistic, Baptist church in the late seventies and eighties. More than just requiring thrice weekly church visits, this church is obsessed with hell – so much so that the pastor has a yearly boxing match with the devil.
Turner’s writing style has the ability to keep you entertained and make you fall in love with the people that characterized his somewhat bizarre childhood. Of course, at the same time he makes you subconsciously ask yourself tough questions about the nature of human kind and how it can turn something holy into such a righteous joke.
The great thing about Churched is truly its multi-tasking nature. Whether you’re interested in an entertaining memoir or an insightful auto-biography, this book can serve both roles.
But even if you’re just looking for a laugh, this is definitely the book for you.

Review by Emily Hoover
Viagra is for the treatment of inability to get or keep an erection and similar states when erection is of low quality. When you buy remedies like cialis from canada you should know about cialis online canada. It may have a lot of brands, but only one ATC Code. Erectile dysfunction, defined as the persistent impossibility to maintain a satisfactory hard-on, affects an estimated 15 to 30 millions men in the America alone. Sexual soundness is an substantial part of a man’s life, no matter his age etc.
With all these reviews and the little snippets of the book, I’m getting really fired up about reading it!
