Better Felt Than Said: A Motto to Live By,
By A Customer
This review is from: Better Felt Than Said: The Holiness-Pentecostal Experience in Southern Appalachia (Hardcover)
Can I just tell you, I was tickled pink by Troy's voyeuristic adventure into the lives of those wild and crazy Appalachian folk. Despite having read this book eons ago, I was again reminded of its universal theme while watching "Space Truckers" last night. First and foremost: never agree to take a shipload of square pigs on an intergalaxtic adventure without getting a down payment. And only less importantly, realize your limitations when trying to impose your ideas (especially those of religious origins) on those who don't fully appreciate the fact that Donna finally gave it up to boost viewer ratings.
