The Ultimate BBQ

Robert Farrell Smith's Baptists at our BBQ was one of the most delightful books I have ever read. Not only is it funny, but it gets you thinking about the goodness of God in our lives. The details he gives about a struggling branch aren't too far-fetched in the world we live in. Not only does he give us a wonderful, grasping story, but he also helps us to see into the "Mormon" culture and just how interesting we can be. Look into it to see what else Robert Farrell Smith has to say despite just being a creative author. It will get you thinking about the realities.

Funniest LDS book I've ever read...

Baptists at Our Barbecue is easily the funniest LDS book I have ever read. (excluding Robert Smith's other books, which should be required reading for anyone who is LDS or living near someone who is) This is the only book that I have read where I actully laughed out loud. My wife thought it was so strange that she immediately read it and she loves it as much as I do. I have two copies because I can't stop telling people about it. BUY IT! You'll love it.

I loved it.

Robert Smith has a knack for bring out the humor in LDS life. I laughed so hard. Then I would read it to my husband and we would both laugh. I finally started over and we read it together. It was great. I use this and the second book The Miracle of Forgetness as gifts all of the time. I've turned many friends on to this author as well. It's like reading a modern day Tom & Huck adventure.

A funny page turner with lots of twists and turns.

This book is throughly enjoyable and full of humor and fun. Robert F. Smith is a talented writer and I look forward to many books to come.

The funniest LDS humor ever to hit the shelves!!!

This is a humorous novel that will bring the funny back into LDS humor. I read this book and thought it was enjoyable from start to finish. It is the first book intended for a Mormon audience that I have ever read that was really funny! I would suggest this book be read by any person who would enjoy a strong, healthy dose of laughter. I will also note that there is nothing in this book that is offensive to Baptists or Mormons, rather it is a book that could appeal to both (and all) religious groups, that also encourages tolerance for one anothers beliefs. I hope there is a sequel on the horizon!
