God, Girls, Golf & the Gridiron

"Birr's best book yet. And that's saying something."
"A rare, laugh-out-loud-funny kind of book" "The characters are a hoot."
Returning from college to the small town of Morgan, Nebraska, Josh finds himself smitten with Erica Chamberlain. But the course to true love is lined with traps and hazards, from Josh’s inability to decode female signals, to her missions trip to Haiti and the threat of tropical romance, to introspection over the purity of his motives.
|
Meanwhile, his lifelong church has lost its mind—if not its soul. The new pastor (who replaced Josh’s dad) has a different gimmick every week and the quirky young adults group is constantly on the verge of revolt. Nothing is sacred anymore, but Josh doesn’t know if he’s just bitter because of what happened to his parents or if dear old Morgan Bible has really gone off the deep end.
With the help of his best friends Scotty and Cassie, and with plenty of metaphorical advice from Scotty’s golf-loving dad, Josh spends a summer pursuing Erica and contemplating his relationship with God. Will he ever get his chance to win her heart? And in what condition will he ultimately find his?
God, Girls, Golf & the Gridiron (Not Always in That Order) . . . A Love Story is a delightful read, filled with amusing, humorous characters and their real-life struggles and questions.

Part Parody - Part Satire - Part Humor
I don’t know where I’m going. I only know I felt a call. Not an out loud voice, not a vision in the clouds, nothing with any drama. More of a knot in my stomach. A duty. A resolution of course. The world has changed since I started out. I can’t even remember how long it’s been, or sometimes, what it was like before I did. Or before It happened. All I know is what I see around me all the time, everywhere, constantly. The Noise. |
|
It started too long ago to remember and too innocently to even trigger an alarm. I suppose that’s how all the great disasters begin. Innocuously. It was never intended to be a movement of evil.
I don’t know if I can stop it. I don’t know if I can do anything. But that knot in my stomach, it tells me there is purpose in my journey. I don’t know what that purpose may or may not be. I guess when the journey ends, I’ll know. But for now, I walk on—alone—in faith.

All is Calm?
Christmas is supposed to be a time of peace and joy. But for the pastor of a church intent on transforming a simple living nativity into a Christmas Eve extravaganza at the last minute, there’s little room for holiday sentiments. From dramatic rewrites of the biblical Christmas story by a wannabe playwright to construction workers who can’t erect a stable stable, and from dueling gourmets unable to agree on the menu to an energetic 74-year-old woman with grandiose visions of recreating the ancient Holy Land in the sanctuary, the entire event seems destined for failure from the beginning. Throw in a series of mishaps, feuds between choir members, a shortage of actors to play Mary and Joseph, and the pressure of having four days to put it all together, and it’s (almost) enough to make a preacher cuss. |
Can this church of crazy characters pull off their grand production? Can an overwhelmed pastor keep his sanity while managing all the details and simultaneously trying to prepare a sterling post-play sermon to impress his mentor? Can everybody survive when Christmas Eve dawns and the mayhem really starts? And can the true message of Christmas avoid getting lost in all the chaos?
