Many in the world view Christians as extremists and hypocritical, based on their actions. More than not, many Christians also feel that way when they look at their colleagues in the Christian faith. Bickel and Jantz give detailed information about the peculiar and bizarre behaviour of the Christian radicals. Using humor, they address these issues with tact and give Christians a way to deal with these behaviours. The authors also address the issue of hypocrisy found in the Christian circle and explains the consequences of such actions.

Filled with anecdotes and stories, this is an excellent book. The authors establish rapport with their readers by admitting that they are not perfect and can also have done these actions, if given the chance. They encourage their readers to laugh at themselves and to change their behavior for the better.

Reading this book I found many of their ideas and thoughts relevant and right in my own life. Even though, extreme actions may not be committed by many Christians, the thoughts and ideas that govern these extreme actions are something that is prevalent in many firm believers of Jesus. Hence, I would recommend this book to all Christians.

In addition, this is a very good manual for non-Christians as well, since it will provide insight into the lives and ideas of Christians and will show them that extreme, radical behavior is an exception rather than the norm!
