From the bright yellow cover to the humorous tales within, Churched is a fun day's read. Turner, author of many works examining the Christian life, tells his own growing-up story in this easy-to-read memoir...

If you've ever thought some Christians can be a little crazy, this book will have you laughing out loud. Churched: One Kid's Journey Towards God Despite a Holy Mess is the story of a young boy growing up in a fundamentalist Christian household.

He tells so many hilarious stories from Barbie burnings to the annual Pastor Nolan vs. Satan boxing match, that the look at the events through a child's eye make it all sound that much more absurd. After five baptisms and asking Jesus in to his heart more times than you can count, he does find God, just not in the way everyone else seemed to want him to.

I really enjoyed this humorous book. If you've grown up in church, you'll identify with many of the situations he describes. He has a good memory of his childlike perceptions of religion.

Delightful and sweet and incredibly funny! Told from the perspective of a very young child, it is adorable. A fun, light read!
