Many non–Christians find the behavior of some Christians off–putting rather than inviting. Many Christians do too! Now Bruce Bickel and Stan Jantz, authors of Knowing the Bible 101, take an unflinchingly honest and often humorous look at some believers’ outlandish behavior. This candid assessment of the church will bridge the communication gap, empowering Christians to share their faith more freely and helping those who don’t yet believe discover the truth about God without being distracted by...

judgmental attitudes, hypocrisy, and condemnation
confusing mixtures of politics and the gospel
defensive positions in the “God vs. science” debate
extreme teachings about prosperity
unbalanced fixations on the end times
uninformed opinions about others’ beliefs
unprofessional Christian media and entertainment

This refreshing call to authentic Christianity will help Christians and non–Christians get past the peripheral issues and communicate openly and honestly about God.

Endorsements

“I’ve long been a Bruce and Stan fan, and with this latest effort they’ve clubbed another one out of the park. Witty, accessible, and with their trademark easy readability, I’m Fine with God...It’s Christian I Can’t Stand packs an enlightening punch. Highly recommended.”
—Jerry B. Jenkins, novelist, Christian Writers Guild

Editorial Reviews

“Bickel and Jantz challenge believers to return to the true fundamentals of the faith—love for God, love for others and a life that mirrors the compassionate, forgiving spirit of Christ.”
—BookPage

“I’m Fine with God...It’s Christians I Can’t Stand by Bruce Bickel and Stan Jantz is a logical look at the misconceptions and behaviors of some ‘Christians.’ The authors are lawyers and present their opinions in a commonsense, easy–to–understand form. From the moment I read the title, I was hooked.”
—ReviewYourBook.com

“I see this as a book that will make you examine your heart and attitude regarding your own faith and as a result you will be more understanding of where people are coming from who can’t stand Christians.”
—EdgyInspirationalAuthor.blogspot.com

“Filled with anecdotes and stories, this is an excellent book. The authors establish rapport with their readers by admitting that they are not perfect and can also have done these actions, if given the chance. They encourage their readers to laugh at themselves and to change their behavior for the better.

“Reading this book I found many of their ideas and thoughts relevant and right in my own life. Even though, extreme actions may not be committed by many Christians, the thoughts and ideas that govern these extreme actions are something that is prevalent in many firm believers of Jesus. Hence, I would recommend this book to all Christians.

“In addition, this is a very good manual for non–Christians as well, since it will provide insight into the lives and ideas of Christians and will show them that extreme, radical behavior is an exception rather than the norm!”
—ArmChairInterviews.com

“This is a rare Christian book for both believers and non–believers. Believers can search their own hearts for what needs to be changed. Non–believers can read nodding their heads in agreement at the bad behavior while learning about what God’s real message is about. This was one book I couldn’t wait to read each night and had a hard time putting down.”
—ChristysBookBlog.blogspot.com

“Thanks to Bickel and Jantz there is now a voice directed at the dumb things Christians do and the lunatic fringe that needs to be exposed and critically evaluated. Along the way the arrow of conviction turns around and you’ll find yourself somewhere on the target of religious silliness. Using Scripture as a guide, the goal is to let God speak for Himself and for us to get out of the way...The authors are equal opportunity evaluators of pop culture and Christianity bringing us back to living a simple and truthful faith.”
—KPXQ1360.com

“…readers willing to countenance some of the negative ways Christians are sometimes perceived and the reasons why, and have a few laughs while they’re at it, will be glad to find this on church library shelves.”
—Congregational Libraries Today
