Want to name a chapter in the Stuff Christians Like book?
Jun 19th by JonThe contest is over and the comments you dropped are ridiculous. I’m going to pick 5 that I think would look great in the book and then post them next week for you guys to vote on which one you want to see in the book. Thanks so much for participating.
I think it would be fun if you guys named a chapter in the book. You’re consistently dropping hilarity and insight in the comments section and I think it would be cool to be able to open the book on a shelf and say, “That chapter title? That’s me.”
So I picked out a chapter. (I’m calling the essays “chapters” now so that I sound like a fancy author.) The title I’m currently going with is:
“Figuring out a loving way to quit a prayer chain.”
The chapter is about when you somehow find yourself on an email prayer chain that you don’t remember signing up for and you’re almost positive that you don’t know anyone in the Nantahala River Gorge region and you’re not sure you’re committed to praying daily via email reminders for the river people. How do you quit a prayer chain like that without looking like you hate God and river people and maybe even gorges which doesn’t even make sense? The Stuff Christians Like book is going to answer that question.
So, want to name the chapter?
Post the funniest title you can think of using a format similar to how the essays on this site are titled. (Stuff Christians Like: _______) Enter as many times as you want. The winner’s title will appear in the book, they’ll get a free copy, their name in the acknowledgments and can say, “I wrote part of the Stuff Christians Like book.”
I’ll skip tomorrow’s post and leave this up so that we can check out the comments.
Enter until Tuesday, June 23.
I’ll post the five best and then let you guys decide which one goes in the book.
Power to the people.
Commence the funny.
What should the name of this chapter be?
