    About this series

    Set in the turbulent sixties of Vietnam, the Summer of Love, Watts riot, and the Beatles, Dancing with Baptists is the story of Greg Henderson, Jr., a young Air Force surgical tech. When Greg makes a promise to Chap, his dying Black chaplain friend, to get Chap’s book, an unflattering history of Southern Baptists and African Americans, published, all hell breaks loose. Greg returns to Houston, his Baptist roots, and Melinda, his very Baptist high school sweetheart, with the challenge to keep a promise that could cost him everything and critically wound the church of his youth. The dance begins.

      Lloyd Boyd is taking a shower when God calls on him to become a personal preacher, but the under-achieving Lloyd is not entirely sure what that entails. After he drops off business cards at his local grocery store, bus stop, and gas station, he starts getting calls! Soon, Lloyd is inundated with requests, including one from Selma, who wants her husband to rediscover faith, and Miss Minerva and Miss Flossie, who are tempted to sell their church for $5 million. Though he has doubts about his call from God, Lloyd stumbles and bumbles through his new role as a personal preacher, and his unconventional style somehow manages to get through to people who were convinced all hope was lost. A comedy about keeping the faith, I Flunked Sunday School reminds you that God does indeed have a plan for everyone's lives, even Lloyd Boyd's.

      Sep 11, 2018

      John Larison’s Whiskey When We’re Dry speaks the American language of the tall tale: Its braggadocio is disguised as candor, and the novel mutes any trace of absurdity with its sharp plot, its tendency to whisper secrets rather than dwell on them, and its preference for scene overexposition. Set on the American frontier in the … The post Sharpshooters and Tall Tales: On John Larison’s ‘Whiskey When We’re Dry’ appeared first on The Millions.
