Product Description The companion book to What Would Jesus Buy?, the forthcoming feature-length documentary produced by Morgan Spurlock, creator of Super Size Me! Reverend Billy's revival tour across America is the subject of the upcoming Morgan Spurlock film What Would Jesus Buy?, his first movie since the national hit Super Size Me! The book is an inspiring--love-a-lujah!--compendium of the reverend in full flow, from his exhortations from the pulpit to his reflections on why lesbian marriage will save the Spotted Owl. Reverend Billy believes big box brainless consumerism is destroying our culture and our planet. Reverend Billy first began preaching in Times Square and has since been incessantly spreading the word at major retail stores from San Francisco to New York City. He has been regularly featured in the national media, most recently in the New York Times, and was arrested with great panache as he led prayers against consumerism in Disneyland. What Would Jesus Buy? Will entertain, convince, convert, and give readers actions they can take to become a member of the Church of Stop Shopping.

would'nt make it to Hollywood September 3, 2007 2 out of 30 found this review helpful
I gave 3 stars because I haven't actually read the book. I saw him on C-Span at a book presentation for this book. Let's just say that this were American Idol...he would'nt make it to Hollywood.
This book saved my soul!!! March 29, 2007 29 out of 32 found this review helpful
While I consider myself to be a reasonably conscientious person, I have found myself slipping over the years. It starts with a quick stop in at the Home Depot because the local hardware shop is closed for the night. Slowly but surely I stopped noticing that my money was supporting all of the wrong things. This book helped me to remember to be a responsible human being again. It reminded me that Starbucks profits are made on the backs of child slavery, and that my support of that company equatres to my support of their methods. Thank you, Rev. Billy, for saving my soul!
