Taming a Liger: Spiritual Lessons from Napoleon Dynamite
(Filed under: Pop Culture)
Wow. Spiritual lessons mined from the indie flick Napoleon Dynamite. The very thought of reading Napoleon-inspired prose makes me laugh.
Get a load of this bit of marketing copy:
Kick off your moon boots, grab a quesa-dilluh, and discover a God who truly can make your wildest dreams come true. Sweet!
Taming a Liger: Unexpected Spiritual Lessons from Napoleon Dynamite by Jeff Dunn and Adam Palmer should be available now.
Update: Read our interview with Taming the Liger author Adam Palmer.

This reminds me of a book we saw at Barnes & Noble this weekend that talks about all of the Christian meaning in Star Wars - it works to a point, but it mostly comes across as a really big, awkward, at times ridiculous, stretch.
That said, aren't televangelists kind of like the Gungans of Christianity? The guy who wrote that Star Wars book shoulda thought of that.
