Fortunately, Evangellyfish isn't one more on the pile. Doug Wilson isn't writing about 'those crazy Christians,' he's writing about us crazy Christians. When you start this short novel, you'll want to believe it describes that big church across town. By the time you finish, you'll remember that it describes the bigger church you're a part of, that scandalous body that God keeps calling his. Wilson understands better than most that 'judgment must begin at the house of God,' and that God still dwells there despite the most squalid conditions. — Ted Olsen, Managing Editor, News \u0026amp; Online Journalism, Christianity Today\\r\\n\\\u0026quot;Evangellyfish may be just what you’re looking for. Like almost everything Wilson writes, it’s witty, funny, and edifying. Especially edifying are the end of the story and how he portrays the Reformed Baptist pastor’s marriage and family. While this novel depicts sin, it doesn’t glorify it; sin is dark and has miserable consequences in this life.\\\u0026quot; ~Andrew David Naselli\\r\\n\\\u0026quot;Wilson's depictions, though comically exaggerated, are essentially accurate not only of Christian culture but of an America in which middle-class suburbia is the definitive mode. Thus Evangellyfish may be useful for the general reader. It's certainly not a Christian insider novel, and it's not gentle. It cuts deeply and shamelessly. It resorts to sexual double entendre that will make the more pious reader's skin crawl. But it will make sense to anyone who's witnessed the horrifying antics, political quagmires, and social foolishness common to American experience and to its Christian evangelical subculture in particular.\\\u0026quot; ~Aaron Belz, Books and Culture\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":769,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"11\":4,\"12\":0}'\u003eWilson's almost medical precision with the human soul makes \u003cem\u003eEvangellyfish\u003c\/em\u003e a fantastic read.... \u003cstrong\u003e-\u003cem\u003eThe American Conservative\u003c\/em\u003e, May 2012\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouglas Wilson\u003c\/strong\u003e is pastor of Christ Church, host of the talk show \u003cem\u003eMan Rampant\u003c\/em\u003e on Amazon Prime, and award-winning author of more than ninety books on a variety of subjects.
