The Dudeist Abides
Dudeism. It’s the practice of “Just Takin’ ‘Er Easy, Man.” Enjoying an herbal supplement in a bath of Mr. Bubbles while listening to “Whale Sounds.” Cruising to the sounds of Creedence while sipping on a Sarsaparilla. It’s hard to go with the flow when our thinking is uptight and there’s a lot strands in our old heads. The Incomplete Dudeist Priest’s Handbook definitely abides! It’s the book for it’s time and place. It fits right in there.

Short and to the point and admittedly incomplete, this is a must for anyone who has more than a passing interest in Dudeism. Yes it steals from a half dozen religions and/or philosophies, but the intent is to add a positive outlook to this whole durn human comedy. It also has some decent templates for actual officiating.
Bar's over there.

A good little guide to the "taking it easy" version of modern religion
Light read, humorous, and adds instructions for those dude's who may be performing their Priestley duties.
