This review is from: Who Will Rise Up (Paperback)
This book is a good read, and Brother Jed is an excellent storyteller. However, it is full of logical fallacies, and he uses singular phrases from the bible to justify his actions and explain his actions. Very faulty and very one-sided. After reading his book, I am lesslikely to believe a word the Brother Jed says.

This review is from: Who Will Rise Up (Paperback)
I remember the old days when Jed Smock would bring in hundreds, maybe thousands of spectators to witness his various impromptu oratory harangues. They were great spectacles that were even looked forward to by the heathens back then. He would even organize sections of the hecklers in great, resounding, choruses of "for-ni-cation" and "lake-of-fire!" I believe he was even mentioned in an old edition of Rolling Stone for his notorious campus romps. I remember one wag who ranked evangelists on the length of their sylabification of the word "yeeeesssss" who considered brother Jed the tops. And then there was sister Cindy, too!
I first saw a Jed Smock experience well over 20+ years ago. I have noticed that the quality and numbers of the hecklers has decreased over the years. Once the hecklers would get into the act with some novel retort or another, but the last time I saw him about 5 years ago, the hecklers were far more obnoxious and lame brained than in the grand old days. Perhaps one could say they were even more abrasive than Mr. Smock himself. This style of evangelical oratory, whether you like it or not, is a vanishing art form of Americana in this slick television age. Jed Smock's operation hearkens back to the old days of Holy Hubert. I was just amazed to find out in a google search that the ol' Smock was still kicking after all these years. Ah, free speach. It still lives without corporate sponsorship.
