4.0 out of 5 stars Misunderstood Messiah, September 24, 2004
By 
This review is from: The Modesto messiah: The famous mail-order minister
Though misunderstood by many, & dismissed as a charlatan by most, Kirby J. Hensley was one of the more interesting figures on the pop culture landscape of the early 70s. He was part huckster, part libertarian, and made a name for himself by selling one dollar priesthoods through the mail. Modesto Messiah reveals Hensley's more serious side, as a man capable of unique insights, a rebel, & a raconteur.
