Customer Reviews

A great talent

We always looked forward to Jed at our school. Still a great book.

Great Book!

But Brother Jed needs to write an update! This book is 20 years old, what's he been up to lately?

Jed Smock is a man among men

The lethargy and ungodliness of the American campus, from the usury and money lending practices of the student loan to the preaching of secular humanism. Give 'em hell, Jed. Don't let the Ivory Towers steal your soul! DEUTERONOMY 15:2

end of an era

I remember the old days when Jed Smock would bring in hundreds, maybe thousands of spectators to witness his various impromptu oratory harangues. They were great spectacles that were even looked forward to by the heathens back then. He would even organize sections of the hecklers in great, resounding, choruses of "for-ni-cation" and "lake-of-fire!" I believe he was even mentioned in an old edition of Rolling Stone for his notorious campus romps. I remember one wag who ranked evangelists on the length of their sylabification of the word "yeeeesssss" who considered brother Jed the tops. And then there was sister Cindy, too! I first saw a Jed Smock experience well over 20+ years ago. I have noticed that the quality and numbers of the hecklers has decreased over the years. Once the hecklers would get into the act with some novel retort or another, but the last time I saw him about 5 years ago, the hecklers were far more obnoxious and lame brained than in the grand old days. Perhaps one could say they were even more abrasive than Mr. Smock himself. This style of evangelical oratory, whether you like it or not, is a vanishing art form of Americana in this slick television age. Jed Smock's operation hearkens back to the old days of Holy Hubert. I was just amazed to find out in a google search that the ol' Smock was still kicking after all these years. Ah, free speach. It still lives without corporate sponsorship.

Interesting history of a strange person

Disclaimer: I'm an atheist philosopher I was fortunate enough to get this book from Jed himself, signed. Although I don't agree at all with Jed's philosophy, this book certainly provides an interesting view into Jed's past, as well as his beliefs all spelled out. If you're going to argue with Jed in person, or if you're just interested in what he's all about, this is a neat book to have. Incidentally, if you don't know who Jed Smock is, the name of 'Brother Jed' is known on college campuses across the country. He's a 'born-again' fundimentalist christian who, along with others in his group, continually tour the grounds of several campuses in the northeast United States. He is well known for his use of harsh words, insults, and extremely frank dialog to put forth his religious ideas.
