| Publisher Description: There's a stigma attached to mental illness and with the good Lord's help, Joey Svendsen is about to blow that stigma up. In a Christian-like way, of course. Pastor Joey Svendsen, co-host of the BadChristian podcast wrote Fundamentalist with one hope. To obliterate the reluctance people often have to speak transparently about mental illness. Joey recounts stories from his life with brutal, hilarious honesty. Stories of irrational thinking and depression so bizarre, you have to laugh or you'll cry. Add a huge dose of holier than thou churchy hand wringing, and Joey takes OCD to a whole new level. Feel free to laugh and shake your head at Joey's expense. It's entertainment after all. But his primary goal is to "bring the issue of mental illness into the plane of reality" and normalize crazy with a little comedy. |
