Something Other Than God

My friend Jen Fulwiler, author of Conversion Diary and star of that most unique of reality shows, Minor Revisions, has at last released upon the world her epic autobiography, Something Other Than God. Because I’m so special and cool and “in with the right people” and “unselfconscious about begging for gifts from people who eventually bestow them upon me just to make me go away,” I got to read an advance copy several weeks before it became available to the unwashed masses.

It’s a masterpiece, people. As far as conversion stories go or any “journey of faith” kind of book, it’s nearly in a league of its own. It’s up there with Augustine’s Confessions, and I’m truly not exaggerating. Do yourself a big favor and read it. Jen used to be a diehard atheist, and I know there are a few readers here at TSOW who have their own struggles with the idea of God. Read Jen’s book, friends! It’s intelligent, engaging, and funny.

Here’s a cool book trailer for it, comprised of many people reading short excerpts via Skype–and I  got to be in it!! I’m the one with the suave zebra shirt and the scary beard–not the one in the Banana Suit (though I wish I was):
