Jim and Casper Go To Church

Well my idea of writing more often isn't panning out the way I'd hoped. I would however like to put an entry here about the book, Jim and Casper Go To Church. I picked it up from the library Wednesday and read cover to cover the same day. A really easy to read and sectioned book. I really appreciated Casper the Friendly Atheist's insights because they were coming from an "outsiders" POV. I really thought that if I could have gotten this book a few years ago that it would have helped me understand things maybe quicker. Jim, the pastor, I thought was a casual observer of Casper while Casper observed the church services. Interesting book idea but also an interesting, albeit for some risky, enterprise. I thought Jim's idea of sending church congregates out once a month to observe other church services, of the same and different denominations, was a good one. Really the only thing better than that would be to actually try to listen to those that don't go to church anywhere. Maybe do what Jim did and pay people to come to their church and fill out a survey. No strings attached. No whammy. Just fill out this survey, pick up your money. The only stipulation is you have to be thorough while filling out the survey. After all, you are being paid! That is the out-of-the-box thinking that needs to take place. There have been some strong critiques against this unlikely duo, but I guess you have to consider the source. All in all I really enjoyed this book. When I finished the book I felt like I wanted to have a round table discussion. This would make good church staff reading material.
The duo made statements like there may be another book. I hope there is one.
