I have met and talked with Mike Riley a few times when we were members of the same church in New Jersey. Always a great conversation and this book is one of those conversations on paper

This is a collection of columns written by the Baptist minister / journalist. Columns ranged from the serious (how to find God when a 3 hour old baby dies) to hilarious (attending New York's fashion week). Naturally, I liked some more than other, but they were always thought provoking and well written. He still writes for the Asbury Park Press and is known as the "Irreverent Reverend."
