Customer Reviews: Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Hilarious- insightful- and gentle:
Terrific, even-handed fun read!: Brown University student Kevin Roose pledges not to condescend or make fun of his classmates when he spends a semester plumbing the minds and hearts at the uber-Conservative Liberty University, and he does a great job. He goes out on a limb, getting involved in everything from the choir to an evangelical spring break mission. The writing is well-sourced and lively, and his profiles of his classmates are intriguing. I learned a lot. I agree that us lib'ral Ivy League Northeasterners can be condescending and... Kevin Roose writes like a god: It is hard to believe that Kevin Roose started writing this book when he was 19. The maturity, self-awareness, and wisdom he demonstrates throughout the book is absolutely amazing for someone who hasn't even graduated from college. And Roose writes extremely well for someone of any age. A fantastic, funny look at a completely different way of living and thinking...: Kevin Roose was a sophomore at Brown University when, after being intrigued by an encounter with student parishioners at Jerry Falwell's Thomas Road Baptist Church, he decided to spend a semester at Liberty University to better understand the young evangelical crowd. A non-practicing Quaker raised in a liberal household, what Roose discovers about his fellow students and what life is like at an evangelical college is at the heart of The Unlikely Disciple.
