If I understand your question correctly, the answer is, "No, because I was too busy typing and wrapping up "We're Crazy!" I do see, though, that quote marks around 3 words makes that the title of a book that, from preliminary googling does look interesting. So thanks! From the list of your genres, I feel sure you will enjoy "We're Crazy!",which covers many of those subjects, with much different analysis of religion.

You ever read any books by Josh McDowell, Bert?

I would have to admit that I haven't. In fact, I read almost no fiction (if that is what he writes).

Josh McDowell is an Apologist. His primary focus is on parents and their teenagers and how parents need to go about teaching and raising their children properly. He has fairly famous saying, "Rules without Relationship equals Rebellion." The idea being that if you don't have a good relationship with your children they will eventually rebel. He has another saying as well that is less popular, "Jesus without Relationship equals Rejection." The idea behind this one being that if you don't take the time to establish people that you truly care about them they will reject Jesus when you present Him. This idea generalizes to virtually any agenda a person may have in which they engage people they don't know and present strangers with whatever it is that particular person is "selling". Of course a way to avoid the need to take the time to get to know people is to be upfront with your agenda. A good introductory pitch let's people know you aren't really interested in being a part of the group but you think you have something in which they might be interested. Either one of the two approaches puts people at ease and lowers their defenses. Congratulations on your book. I will most likely check it out. In the very least I will read the bibliography.
After a list of many of the questions that the book addresses in depth, the summary is, "Why compare your own answers with those in the book? Because the future of our nation depends on our values about these very subjects."
You can link to a longer description of "WE'RE CRAZY!" by putting that title in the block at the top of this page, and then clicking on the title block that comes up. This description directs readers to reading samples and to an extensive bibliography that is an education in itself. This is the book for those who want to think about where we are headed and what is important.
