Page 4 - Billy Graham in Heaven
P. 4
Billy Graham’s Glorious Jam Reviews:
Hilarious, delirious and serious. A 20th century history of American religion and a raging comedy whose plot encompasses the future of a small town and the fate of the earth.
David Hopes, Pulitzer Prize nominee for fiction, Professor of Literature UNCA
Visit Brave Books, the Promised Land Pub and the Heaven and Hell Cathedral, or hobnob with the All or Nothing Dating Service in this dromady. Billy Graham, M.L. King, and Reinhold Niebuhr, as well as a host of unleashed Presidents and salacious celebrities boogey across this scintillating love story.

Jake pursues the uncompromisingly moral, but not unsexy Cathy across a couple of decades. Like the tantalized couples in Moonlighting, Jake and Cathy sustain an unrequited attraction that defies time.
Branyon’s take on Christianity and nonviolence in an apocalyptic world (assembling not only A.J. Muste and Reinhold Niebuhr, but also Graham and M.L. King) is pretty sophisticated. The saving grace is that the flawed idealism comes across as aspects of the characters’ fallibility. There’s that smirk and shrug that wins us over and makes the preaching pristine.
