An affectionate critique of being raised a GUBA

We evangelicals tend to take ourselves rather seriously (lest anyone think we don't take our beliefs seriously) and many of us could use a little nudge in the ribs from time to time. This book strikes an ideal tone as it pokes gentle fun at the uniquely American fundamentalist/evangelical Christian experience. Those of us who were raised this way (GUBAs, abbreviated from the title) know EXACTLY what the author is talking about even though I'm sure most others would be quite bemused. Slyly humorous observations such as "Why Women Cannot be Ushers" made me realize just how steeped I am in the cultural experience. This book is a delight to read and to laugh over with your fellow grown GUBAs.

a "must" read for all survivors of evangelical upbringings!

You only "get it" if you have been there - it simply wouldn't make sense to anyone else (nor should it, for a "born again" upbringing is something understood only from the inside). My adrenaline surged at the mere thought of a Sword Drill and I realized that I no longer need to be embarassed that scripture verses, hymns, and all the books of the Bible are always at the tip of my tongue. "Growing Up Born Again" is a must read for all survivors (and perpetuators!) of this unique cultural experience. Too bad it is out of print . . . I know of many who would eagerly laugh and cry at the memories this book brings back to life.
