I read this in one sitting and it was intense, creepy, crazy, and got really weird. It's a very gothic story and atmosphere that is an appropriate type of read for this time of year with the cold, dark winter and everything. This book does pretty much live up to the hype.
The only thing with this book I'd caution is that toward the end what I noticed more is that there's some profanity/crude language and a bit of a shock at the end with a brief bit of gore and violence that grossed me out, but other than that I enjoyed this quite a bit.

Awesome guest speakers
Lots of profanity and occasional sexual content. Do not listen to this with your kids in the car. (0 more)
Great podcast, but not for everyone
I absolutely love this podcast. Yes, some people might find it offensive, but...honestly, I think it's kind of their goal, to get people talking about things that most Christians usually find taboo, and maybe change your mind once in a while. I think it's awesome what these guys are doing, and love what they stand for, even if I don't always agree with them.

Notable past guest speakers include Jamie Tworkowski (founder of the nonprofit To Write Love On Her Arms), Lecrae, David Crowder, Stephen Christian (Anberlin), and Jon Foreman (Switchfoot).

This is a fine debut novel from the TV host. A body is unearthed in a small Irish village and PJ Collins, the local policeman, must dig through the characters’ past to find the killer. This is an exciting plot set against the humdrum of village life. The characters are believable in their mundanity, the tone of their conversation, peppered with occasional profanity, secrets and gossip, is a joy to read. The story is told with observational wit and flair but doesn’t rely too much on overplaying the Irish accent when reading. If you’re a fan of the author, I highly recommend listening to the audio version that’s available as Norton’s narration brings the characters to life, full of lilt and accent.

I love these guys, but the vulgarity is a bit much at times
I've been listening to the Bad Christian Podcast since the first episode. I was a big fan of the band Emery, and two of the hosts are members of that band, while the third is a pastor.


These guys are funny and entertaining and their guests and topics - usually centered on religion, but not always - are timely and interesting. But... through the process of "deconstructing" their faith, they have gone sharply vulgar, and it frequently makes me want to stop listening. I haven't stopped yet, but the temptation is there.

If you can handle "blue" humor and lots of swearing, there's a lot to enjoy here. And if you like emo or screamo music, I definitely suggest listening to Emery.
