Customer Reviews

A must read...for christians especially

This book is a godsend to a religion that seriously needs a reality check. Welcome to Jesusland illustrates and frames the practices of extreme Christianity, exposing anti-intellectualism, questionable child brainwashing, failure of pastoral example, delusions of speaking to God, blatant egocentricity, and the excessive trademarking of Christianity (True Christian(TM), Silver Ring Thing(TM), WWJD(TM)). But most of all, this extreme depiction of Christians shows how selectively the Bible gets applied. In sections where you say "But Christians don't do this," you find a passage from the Bible, plain as day. For example, encourage your children to hate you and become a life-long disciple of Jesus while you stone them to death. For Christians reading this review, instead of condemning this book, study it in depth. Learn why people believe these things and take the opportunity to take out the mental trash that has accumulated. However, recommended for those of strong faith and willing to tolerate a little humor at their expense.

Great fun for free thinkers

this book is hilarious, and a welcome relief for those of us who are not sucked in by religion. If you are open minded and don't mind fun being poked at the modern extremes of christianity, have a good chuckle with this book while you wait for better times!

This Book Saved My Life!!!

I've been an athiest for 10 years. I bought this book 2 weeks ago, and read it from cover to cover the first night!! I have now accepted Jesus as my personal Lord & savior thanks to Pastor Deacon Fred and Brother Harry Hardwick's tear jerking sermons. My son, who is 14, took up the offer on page 3 to "Accept Jesus Christ as Your Personal Lord and Savior and Get a Free Playstation 3" promotion. He has been enjoying his Playstation, and his new friendship with Jesus, ever since. Anyone wishing to get to know God on a much more personal basis should buy this book. I was so excited, I bought 5 more copies to give to local libraries, so generations to come can learn the TRUE gospel of Jesus Christ. Enjoy.

GLORY TO GOD!!!

Praise Jesus. Praise Him for he has delivered, through Pastor Deacon Fred, a book that all true Christians can feel safe and proud to pass around Sundays at church. I remember standing amidst the moral FILTH at something called "GAMOW" in Washington, DC a couple of years ago. I cannot tell you how troubled and deeply disturbed I felt standing around such ungodly folk. It made my personal commitment to Christ stronger than ever. Not only that, but through God's Own Messenger, Pastor Deacon Fred, that connection is even stronger. Oh, Glory. This nation, this world needs REVIVAL. And the closest thing to administering the word of God and Jesus is LANDOVER BAPTIST. There is truly no greater representative of Christianity around today. I cannot tell you all the blessings conferred upon me and mine than through our solemn and sacred affiliation with this mighty force for the Lord. Again, ALL Christians need to get with this for we are living in the End Times. Get Saved. Buy and study this magnificent, Holy Word. God Bless Landover Baptist, God Bless George W Bush, and GOD BLESS JESUS CHRIST!!!

A fantastic (nearly orgasmic) read. A MUST have for all Saved souls

When you aren't walking across hot coals, speaking in tongues, or handling more than one snake, I highly recommend you read this inspirational work of art. Buy a copy of this book for each room of your house, and place it next to your Bibles. This is a MUST have book for all people of faith! God Bless Betty Bowers and Landover Baptist! Can I get an "AMEN"?!
