I heard Orson being interviewed on the Dennis Miller radio show and after hearing about his book, I just had to read it. I was blessed that I did. Orson's writing style is wonderfully fresh. I laughed out loud and cried moments later. I felt like I had a lot in common with the way Orson came about his belief's in God and Jesus.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too Hip for Faith?, October 29, 2008

If you know someone who's on the fence about faith but mostly think he's just too hip to believe, this is the book! Orson Bean is refreshingly candid, honest, and persuasive! Read at your own risk!

Based on someone's recommendation, I read this book. It was very interesting and uplifting. I think there are many people today who are struggling to find more meaning in their lives and this story provides some strong suggestion for where to look.
