Non-Lousy Reviews 3 (Last One)

My book came out last month. My publisher told me to put a "Google Alert" on my e-mail so I'd know when someone mentioned it in a blog. Over 40 people have now mentioned it in their blogs (and only one was negative - I am too "inappropriate" for him). Thought it might be cool to share a few samples. And, in case you're wondering, I've never met any of these people (so these aren't "friend reviews") ...

Paul wrote: I’m not very good at reviews, but I think I can sum up this book in two words: 1) Hilarious, 2) Challenging. I’ve been following Vince’s blog for a few months now and have listened to a few of his messages via podcast. I knew he was funny, but this book literally made me laugh out loud in the middle of Barnes & Noble. At the same time, this was one of the most personally challenging books I’ve ever read. Vince helped me refocus on the things that really matter.

Ryan wrote: If you haven't read it, get in your car and head to the nearest bookstore. It is that good. I have been in a "Christian funk" since the end of this past summer. I was flying high in my faith before that, but then I got out of sync and never regained that "glow." This book changed that. Lousy T-Shirt is innovative, refreshing, funny, and thought provoking. But, most importantly, it gets the reader motivated to truly LIVE the life of Jesus.

Kevin wrote: Vince Antonucci hits it out of the park with this book! This has quickly become one of my all-time favorite books. While words like “authentic”, “spiritual”, and “passion” (might as well throw “relevant” into the mix as well) are some of today's biggest Christian buzzwords this book doesn’t come off as a cheap attempt to capitalize on the flavor of the month. The major themes throughout the book are finding out how to abide in His love and living a life that abounds in His love.

Josh wrote: I'm reading it at 3 miles an hour (read the book and you'll get what I mean by that). I believe a great book will lead you to God, to his Word and to the Gospel. This book does exactly that. Thanks Vince for a life-changing book!

C.E. wrote: The most powerful thing Antonucci has going for him with I became a Christian is his use of humor and metaphor. His ability to make the reader lose himself in laughter for a minute, sometimes making theology downright hysterical, is an effective tool for disarming those who might come at the book ready to disagree with whatever they plan on finding in its pages. And the word pictures painted here are almost artistic in their delivery. While Antonucci strikes me as someone who you could sit and have coffee with, when I sit and think about the new metaphors he uses to re-imagine some of our most cherished old metaphors, I realize he is a genius in his own right. Metaphors are extremely difficult to consistently get across to a reader. Antonucci seems to do it with ease. He also does a good job of not sugar-coating life, as if following Christ were meant to be all gumdrops and lollipops.
