Book Description
It may feel like authentic faith. It may even look like the real deal. Yet it's often easy to settle for the souvenir t-shirt—the appearance of a transformed heart—instead of taking the actual trip through true life-change. We find ourselves settling for a personal faith that's been polluted by culture, and diluted by other people's take on spirituality. Christianish tells the story of one man's journey to move from the in-between to a life that's centered on Christ. To move forward, author Mark Steele goes back to the beginning, to examine Christ's life and words. Through stories and insights that are sometimes profound, often hilarious, and always honest, Mark delivers a compelling look at what our faith is all about.

Book Description
A young man’s hilarious encounters with life, love, and a flock of celebrities. It is as if Forrest Gump’s smarter brother stumbled through the Ivy League on his way to a career as a college professor. A naked jog around Harvard Yard; an unsuccessful effort to become part of the Kennedy clan; wandering in the West Virginia hills looking for long-lost relatives; delivering mail to dead senators on Capitol Hill; catching priceless artifacts thrown by a duchess during the tour of a grand English estate; misplaced nude photographs from a medical photographer; and even a face-to-face encounter with the Queen at Royal Ascot. These outrageously funny stories form a memoir of self-discovery by someone who can never quite learn the lessons of life.
