Even though Ryan Fisher didn’t believe in God, he placed an ad in the Christian Business Directory.
The opening line of Rob Stennett’s debut novel introduces us to Ryan Fisher—a Real Estate Agent who decides the best career move he can make is to start his own megachurch. Problem is Ryan’s never really set foot in a church. But one small detail like that won’t dissuade him. What ends up taking place is a satire that’s part comedy, part tragedy—a tour de force chronicling celebrity and religion in America today.

“The Almost True Story of Ryan Fisher, is equal part dramatic fiction and biting satire… filled with brilliant sarcastic wit.” —Christianity Today (Award of Merit winner for Christianity Today’s best fiction of 2009)
“Rob Stennett is equal parts Tom Perotta and Rob Bell. His book is a sharp - but also loving - satire of religion in America. In the words of his main character, it’s funny as H-E double hockey sticks.” —A.J. Jacobs (bestselling author of The Year of Living Biblically)
