Publisher Description
Popular author of the humorous Flabbergasted trilogy, Ray Blackston directs his creative talents to an even broader and more challenging theme. In A Pagan's Nightmare, Blackston highlights the plight of one pagan who's suddenly engulfed in a Christian world. At first, Lanny Hooch thinks the sign at the gas station is a practical joke: "Unleaded $0.12 per gallon for the Redeemed-$6.66 for everyone else." At McDonald's, he notices crosses on the employees' lapels and french fries-renamed McScriptures-embossed with Bible verses. And he wonders why everyone calls him "Mr. P." But when he detects changed lyrics in the oldies tunes blaring from his car radio, he realizes something is seriously wrong. The Beatles never sang about wanting to hold someone's tithe! And then there's the huge reward for his capture and conversion. "Ray Blackston's A Pagan's Nightmare is a delightful tongue-in-cheek look at some of our sacred cows . and he's not afraid to tip them over! Ray does a great job of reminding us what's really important-not the trappings we've created for ourselves, but our relationship with a living, powerful God."-Angela Elwell Hunt, Christy Award-winning author of The Debt.

"This was a great book that is a must read for any evangelical that needs to learn not to take themselves too seriously. (It IS supposed to be all about Jesus, right?) "

" Hillarious. For the reader confident in his/her doctrine. "

" better than I thought it would be. "
— Maryjanewallin, 1/10/2014 -
" I bought this because I like the author. I enjoyed it but it feels like it goes on too long. I think it would have done better if it had been shorter. But the end really does justify the story, you just have to stick with it. If you start reading it, I highly recommend finishing it. "

" Kind of interesting. Have heard his other books are better. Oh well. "
— Jen, 12/11/2013 -
" Had to pick it up for the title.... "
— Karen, 11/20/2013 -
" This was kind of a fun book. It uses humor to make a very important point about how the world views Christians because of how some behave. I found myself reading to find out what happened, and then was caught unaware and impressed by the point that was revealed at the end. "
— Marliss, 11/5/2013 -
" While I was reading this book, I became nearly obsessed with it, because it is without a doubt the worst book I have ever read. It is a tour de force of shallow characterization, insipid plot development, and hackneyed writing. You've got to read this book to believe it. It is super, super awesome. "
— John, 11/1/2013 -
" An interesting plot line and intriguing way of writing it, but it took a while to get into it and didn't quite reach my expectations from reading Blackston's other books. "
— mykl, 10/25/2013 -
" Started off funny and smart, then I realized too far into this book that it was actually pro-Christian propoganda. Go beat someone else over the head with your bible please! "

" "Religious Howdy!" "
— Tony, 10/9/2012 -
" I like this author, but this is about the WORST book I ever read!! "
— Scott, 6/23/2012 -
" A bit odd, in a zany way. A curious perspective, but not bad. I think I'll be taking a break from this author for a while. "
— Jenny, 5/9/2012 -
" While well- written, the twist at the end doesn't justify all the blasphemy of the rest of the book. And although I don't usually spend my day's in worthwhile pursuits, I regret the time I spent reading this. "
