The Sinner Meets The Righteous
We've been meaning to mention Lauren Sandler's fantastic new book, Righteous: Dispatches from the Evangelical Youth Movement. It's a wonderful overview of the emerging 'disciple generation' that introduces readers to our nation's leading evangelical youth leaders and their followers. From the scary (Ryan Dobson), to the misogynistic (Mark Driscoll), to the bizarre (Stephen Baldwin), to the progressive (Jay Bakker), Sandler covers all her bases with humor, insight, and grace. Well, maybe not grace. Lauren is a card-carrying secular humanist destined to spend an eternity in hell removed from God's grace, just like us. (You can read an excerpt of Righteous here and purchase a copy here.)
The book is a great companion piece to our book, The Sinner's Guide to the Evangelical Right and tonight author Robert Lanham will be doing a reading with Sandler in New York. Coincidentally, Sandler and Lanham both live in Williamsburg. Very strange, given the similarity of their books. Here's tonight's info:
