I Became A Christian And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt



Released February 2008

Vince Antonucci's latest offering, I BECAME A CHRISTIAN AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT, delves into Christianity. As a teenager, Vince was not religious, but he found his passion and is now sharing his personal account of his foray into religion, his family and the lessons he is learning along the way.

The book is not overly lengthy. At under 200 pages, you should have no problem finishing the book in a couple sittings. The t-shirt theme is carried throughout the book delving into how shedding a symbolic t-shirt is often the first step in finding and understanding religion. It is an interesting metaphor.

The writing is extremely personable and humorous which makes it an intriguing read. That part I really like. As for the Bible being God's lessons for mankind, even the author still failed to convince me. L. Ron Hubbard's Dianetics lead to Scientology, a "religion" I equate to cult status. One man's opinion developed a rather scary cult following. In the end, I'm still unconvinced that the Bible is more than one or two people's mythological tales.
