A new review of WBTA by Mike Debowski explains why the book made an even bigger impression on him than his funny book about cats did. Seriously, it’s a thoughtful and nicely-written review, if I might say so myself, and you can read it right here.

The most detailed review yet of WBTA appeared last week in the venerable (founded 1884) “progressive, ecumenical magazine based in Chicago” called The Christian Century, which is dedicated to exploring “what it means to believe and live out the Christian faith in our time.” Including when it doesn’t all go the way you supposed!

Infographics are all the rage in publishing, but I think slapping one on a tie, like this one does, might be a first. I’m not sure how much traditional “information” as we think of it (as in ice cold facts and figures) is included, but it sums up the story of my particular book (and maybe the stories of plenty of others) pretty well. And the guy(s) totally look(s) like me, of course. See the Infographic.

The takeaway lines being, in case you miss them, “A fine mix of pathos and hilarity…. An unvarnished, mostly bewildered and touchingly human memoir.” I especially like the “mostly bewildered” part. Read Review.

The first official review of WBTA is in, and it bestowed a gold star, right on the forehead. Yes, that’s what Publishers Weekly gives to books that were quiet during class and did all their work and that the teacher liked. Okay, it’s actually a red star. Still. Read Review.
