I got a 25$ gift card for my birthday to Barnes and Noble. I was trying to figure out what to buy, scrolling through their “Christian theology” section and these are some of the books I find:
For Men Only: A Straightforward Map to the Inner Lives of Women

Now, admittedly, there are some good books to be found, but really… I think the closest title I (when I say I, I really mean Chris) could think of for “For Men Only: A Straightforward Map to the Inner Lives of Women” is “speculative theology.”
When I was at a large Christian bookstore chain in the midwest last month, their “Christian Living” section was bigger than the “Theology”, “Pastoral Helps”, and “Bible Reference” sections combined. It certainly is telling…
Telling and depressing. The title is supposed to be all tongue-in-cheek, but I also wonder, for how many people this really would be a news flash, that both a semi-dating book of the sexes and a tremendously fictional book do not belong in the theology section.
