Becky Garrison’s new book is out, Jesus Died for This?.
I enjoyed reading it.
Garrison is a satirist who is willing to take on anybody, and she does it with style and grace.
Her sense of humor, that has gotten her in trouble more than once, certainly shines through the pages.
It is a kind of autobiographical journal of her search for Jesus… where she doesn’t find him and where she does. Always surprising.
The most poignant chapter for me was the story of her parents and her early childhood, “Holy Hippies”. Powerful. You’ve got to read it.
Besides, I really like Becky, consider her a friend, and believe we are very much on the same page.
For good or ill. Plus: several of my cartoons appear in it.
I always like that.
My name is David Hayward, and I am the nakedpastor. I am a graffiti artist on the walls of religion.
It as a challenge finding the Naked Pastor/Asbo Jesus cartoons that I could slip past the folks at Zondervan. Shocked what made it in e.g., I got to say “holy crap,” a phrase not even a secular publisher let me get use.
But that was the point of the pilgrimage – where did I make the connections. And I definitely had a heart to hear with the NP/AJ duo.
