Easily one of my favorite books. This collection of poetry and short stories deeply affected my early christian walk. It's thought provoking and challenging, and a lot of the stories and poems I had to read multiple times and reflect on in light of the bible. It not only challenged me mentally, but encouraged me to read my bible and see what, if any, correlations Andrew was trying to make. Corporate T-Shirt Slogans is still on of my favorite pieces from any book!
There are some books you never leave home without if you plan to be gone for any amount of time. This is one of them for me. He is an amazing writer and such an inspiration.
I remember loving this book when I was in high school. It doesn't age well but I certainly hope many people find it and it gives them a basis for future reflection.
