Have you read the book, Val? You should; it's hilarious. I read it a few years ago. I'm quite taken with this, from Slacktivist:- " He was with people who cared about him. This was his family. He was really, really glad to see them, and it appeared the feeling was mutual. That second "really" is what sets Jerry Jenkins apart as a novelist. Passages like this make one grateful that he is sharing this gift with others. You, too, can sign up for his "Christian Writers Guild" and you can learn to be a really, <i>really</i> good writer." Perhaps there's hope for me in publishing a novel - at least there might be, if I have some arbitrary Xian theme and tout it to the Xian press.
