I can’t decide between 1 or 2 stars but yuck I did not like this book.
I was expecting something more to the story than there was and it had more profanity than I like.
Also when they mentioned Satanic rituals as a possible part of the story toward the end - I knew this wasn’t my kind of book and skipped a few chapters to read the end and it was not what I expected.
This just ended up rubbing me the wrong way - not my type of book.

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.

An absolute piece of SHIT! A raging dumpster fire! The material bears no resemblance to anything Lovecratian or Mythos-related! This author just threw an excessive amount of unwarranted of profanity as well as infidelity and a slew of other unneeded plot devices! Seriously? Avoid this one like f'n COVID-19! You want a modern twist on Cthulhu Mythos? Read Darrell Schweitzer's CTHULHU'S REIGN! At least the writers of the stories in that collection know how to write!
  
I didn’t know what to expect from this book, especially after reading the beginning of the book that used a bit of profanity to get a point across. I am glad I didn’t stop and continued to read. The author shares with the reader her experience with health issues that made her re-evaluate her life; eating habits, stress, mental well-being, exercise, and habits. The approach is quite simple; listen to your body and your intuitions as it will let you know what you need to live a healthy life.

I was provided a free ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This movie had the potential to be exceptional, but fell a bit short for me. Unneeded use of profanity (I'm no prude, but it was generally completely not necessary and out of place altogether when used) took away from one of the first feature film performances in the storied career of Dennis Haysbert.

Unfortunately, around the time this film was introduced there were several different movies attempting to portray an East meets West narrative, and most of them whiffed, including Mr. Baseball.

I'm a huge baseball fan so I went into this with the predisposition in the positive. Too bad Selleck and Co. couldn't maintain that.

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.

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).
