Douglas Wilson
Winner of the 2012 ,Christianity Today, Best Fiction Award,Evangellyfish, is a ruthless, grimly amused, and above all honest look at one of the darkest corners in the western world. Douglas Wilson, a pastor of more than thirty years, paints a vivid and painful picture of evangelical boomchurch leadership. . . in bed.,Chad Lester's kingdom is found in the Midwest. His voice crawls over the airwaves, his books are read by millions (before he reads them), and thousands ride the escalators into the sanctuary every Sunday. And Saturday. And Wednesday, too. He is the head pastor of Camel Creekâ€”a CEO of Soul. And souls come cheap, so he has no overhead.,When Lester is (falsely) accused of molesting a young male counselee, his universe begins to crumble. He is a sexual predator, yes. But strictly straight (and deeply offended that anyone would suggest otherwise). Detectives, reporters, assistant pastors, and old lovers and pay-offs all come out to play.,John Mitchell is also a pastor, but he has no kingdom to speak ofâ€”only smalltime choir feuds. He is thrilled at the great man's fall, but his joy quickly fades when the imploding Lester calls himâ€”and a lover or twoâ€”for help. How low can grace go? Whores, thieves, and junkies, sure. But pastors?
