Stuff Christians Like

Becki Henderson--Administrative Assistant

This week my sister and I have been leading
HoneyRock devos
in the morning.  We have been reading out
of a book called Stuff Christians Like which was just released last
week.  The author, Jon Acuff, started a blog called
Stuff Christians Like about two years ago and it has grown into a
fantastic
blog with a worldwide following—I think over a million people read it
(although
I could certainly be wrong about that.) 
Jon was raised in a Christian home and does a great job of
pointing out
some of the funny things about Christians and things that those of us
who grew
up in that context kind of take for granted—like Vacation Bible School,
and
summer camp, and that guy in the youth group who plays guitar that all
the
girls like, and giving little kids fire to play with at Christmas Eve
services,
etc.

My favorite thing about his blog is what he calls
his “Serious
Wednesday” posts.  Each Wednesday he
writes a post that, although funny, contains a beautiful or insightful
thought.  He often looks at Bible stories
I am very familiar with (like the Prodigal Son) and points out something
amazing from a completely different point of view.

I would highly recommend this blog and also this
book, but I’m
not sure that his sense of humor would be funny to everyone.  I encourage you to check out a Serious Wednesday post and see what you think.
