Mark Steele, an author and the president of movie company Steelehouse Productions, discusses lessons gleaned from his own Christian journey in Christianish: What If We're Not Really Following Jesus At All? (David C. Cook).
With a background that includes stand-up comedy rather than theology, the author uses humor to illustrate his topics, such as Christians who pretend their lives are perfect, which he's quick to address in the first chapter.
"When we are public about the 'rough stuff,' we communicate that God is able to deliver us through the 'rough stuff, " he says. Other chapters look at materialism, lack of patience, transformation and when God says "no."
