The Happy Rant

Wandering to and Fro Through Some Things That Don't Matter All That Much (and a Few That Really Do)

Narrado por: Ted Kluck, Ronnie Martin, Barnabas Piper

From the hive mind behind the popular Happy Rant podcast comes this cornucopia of humorous and thought-provoking critiques of Christian culture. Come for the good-natured cynicism. Stay for the enlightenment.

Ted Kluck, Ronnie Martin, and Barnabas Piper, hosts of the Happy Rant podcast, take their faith-based back-and-forth from the recording booth to the book chapter with this collection of insightful and often hilarious takedowns of pastor trends, personality tests, political engagement, and more.

The Happy Rant crew have a lot of strong opinions, and occasionally they even agree with each other! Always candid and frequently compelling, Ted, Ronnie, and Barnabas tackle everything from the divisive, hot-button issues within the church to more lighthearted fare that reminds us never to take ourselves too seriously.

As entertaining as it is engaging, The Happy Rant will help you to think more critically about the world around you and enjoy a laugh or two (or maybe three) along the way.

So Good!

I really enjoyed listening to this. It was so familiar to the podcast. I highly recommend the audiobook!

Just ordinary, and that’s a good thing.

Connected with the topics, enjoyed the audio - overall, I just enjoyed it. Thanks guys for taking the time to put this out.

Better than it deserves to be

I'll write something a bit more comprehensive later. but very good to say the least.

Well, actually...

I love The Happy Rant podcast. I’ve listened since ep 1. Never missed an ep. I’ve endured a love/hate relationship with a certain one of the trio...love all the banter, the lingo, inside jokes, the takedowns of the ridiculousness of much of church culture.
I had mixed feelings about the book announcement. Like when your favorite tv series is being adapted into a movie, you know it can’t be as magical.
The book was basically like an extended episode, minus the spontaneity and humor, leaving me wondering what required this to be in book form. I understand that because of the back and forth nature of the narrative the authors were required to read their parts but the readings seemed wooden and one of the three’s supposed edginess I’ve never been able to take seriously. I did enjoy the chapter on money and guilt but it wasn’t much new info. The book ended in a very abrupt manner, as well.
Sorry, fellas. Love the podcast and I can’t complain about a free service. For new listeners to The Rant this book may be a good primer without binging on years of podcast episodes.
