Jonathan Acuff discusses his book Stuff Christians Like

 Using the same humor and honesty that galvanized more than a million online readers from more than 200 countries, blogger Jonathan Acuff brings his insightful take on Christianity to the book world with Stuff Christians Like. From prayer shot blocks to Metro worship leaders, no stone is left unturned in this hilarious look at faith.

Two years ago, the son of a Chapel Hill preacher began a field guide blog to "all things Christian" gently poking the weird, the annoying and the “things you think but never say out loud in the Christian world.” Today, with over 7.5 million page views and readers from more than 200 countries, it’s clear his writing has hit a chord with people around the world. On Friday, April 2, 2010, Acuff was interviewed on CNN in a story about social media and the church. It seems his cult following has finally hit the main stream.

Acuff is the comedic genius behind the hit blog Stuff Christians Like which explores the funny things Christians do – including their love for side hugs, crock pots and metrosexual worship leaders.  Now, this pastor's kid, (son of Mark Acuff, pastor of The Gathering Church), with a mind for branding, a sarcastic mouth and a heart for God is challenging how we laugh about faith in a new book.

Beneath all the humor and insight, Acuff also has a philanthropic side, using his blog to raise $30,000in 18 hours to build a kindergarten in Vietnam. 24 days later, readers reached the $60,000 goal that will fund the building of two kindergartens.
