Megabelt Too Sarcastic and Crude?

January 9, 2010 in Megabelt

Eric Carpenter reviews Megabelt.  He says:

Overall, Megabelt has some good qualities. However, it is my opinion that the author missed his chance at writing a book that would have great impact on the church. I wish this book could be re-written with more grace, less sarcasm, and no crudity. If a revision was done well, then I think churched people of the South might be willing to read it and think about the important issues it raises.

If you have read Megabelt, what do you think?

Using Megabelt in a Young Adult Class?

January 5, 2010 in Megabelt

In a letter to Megabelt author Nick May, posted on Megabelt.info, Anne Dalton suggests that the book might be used in a young adult class with an appropriate study guide.

Would you use a work of fiction in a Sunday School class?  Would you require that such a work be explicitly Christian?  What ideas might you have for effectively using such literature in Sunday School?
