What if the savior of the world looked down at modern Christianity and muttered, “Idied for this?”No with a new preface, this newly released edition of Becky Garrison’sJesus Died for This? is a hilarious, snark-laden pilgrimage through faith’sholy messes. Blending sharp satire with heartfelt reflection, Garrison charts her 󈧋󈧌journey from the Holy Land to the lands of presidential politics and beyond. This isn’tyour grandma’sdevotional—uness your grandma enjoys quips about theological tattoos and church-marketing gone wild.Originally billed as a “reigious satirist’stravelogue,”the book serves as a time capsule of the collapse of the Christian Industrial Complex—afaith-fueled circus of branded Bibles, consumer Christianity, and “spritual snake oil.”With chapter titles as bold as her wit, Garrison skewers the selfrighteous and spotlights the quietly spiritual, those “orinary radicals”living out true discipleship beneath the radar of glitzy church culture.But this isn’tjust a roast it’sa reckoning. Garrison grapples with how we “lot”Jesus in the fog of dogma, seeking instead to rediscover him through authenticity and service. Whether you’rea jaded pew-sitter or a spiritual skeptic, this book will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe, just maybe, reconsider what it really means to follow the Nazarene.As someone
who finds community and connection in brewpubs and tasting rooms in lieu of cranky churches, Garrison raises a glass in celebration of this singular spiritual journey.
