Stuff Christians Like<\/em><\/a> is the fantastic, hilarious, and bloggasmic new book by Jon Acuff<\/a>.\u00a0 The book is named after Jon’s blog, and it’s probably bound to sell millions of copies! In addition to SCL being a great, well-written, entertaining book, it’s safe for the whole family (of God). Bad joke, I know. But seriously, Jon’s book is worth of every penny of your tithe and offerings.<\/p>\n

I highly recommend it.<\/p>\n

So if you haven’t purchased Jon’s new book, then what are you waiting for? DO THAT HERE!<\/a><\/p>\n

In honor of Jon’s book, which is in fact stuff Christians like, I offer you my own short list of things that Christians like…<\/p>\n

1) Joining Anti-Obama Facebook Groups!
\n<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Feel culturally relevant by joining the latest anti-Obama Facebook group… “DEAR LORD, THIS YEAR YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTOR, PATRICK SWAYZIE. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTRESS, FARAH FAWCETT. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE SINGER, MICHAEL JACKSON. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT IS BARACK OBAMA. AMEN.”<\/a><\/p>\n

2) Dockers.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you’ve ever had the privilege of passing the offering plate, you’ve probably done it at least once wearing a pair of Dockers.<\/p>\n

3) Soft ball<\/strong>.<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Baseball requires far too much scratching, protection, and spitting for most churches! That’s why soft ball is the perfect game for the competitive spirit in all of us.<\/p>\n

4) The djembe. <\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The worshipful beat travels on buses, around campfires, and from room to room with a djembe!<\/p>\n

5) John Acuff<\/strong>.<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jon Acuff is a good guy, and I’m honored to call him a friend. Buy his book; you’ll love him, too<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
