If any of you are fans of the Rick and Bubba morning radio show, then this book is for you. The book takes us through their childhood years all the way up to the present time. From learning about Rick's resourcefulness in making money as a child to seeing the impact that Bubba's father had on his life, we get a peak into what makes these men tick.
While it does bog down a little when they are talking about their numerous contract negotiations, the book shines in particular where it needs to.
A few years ago, Rick's youngest son, Bronner, died tragically while Rick was away speaking at a Christian youth event. The faith that he demonstrated during this heart-wrenching tragedy is worth the read all by itself, whether you're a fan of the show or not. In addition, the way that Bubba carried on with the show the following Monday is inspiring.
I have often dealt with the conflicting feeling that I have to be funny all the time, even if I don't feel like it. And these men, funny as they are, glorified our Lord Jesus Christ by exposing their humanity, their weakness, and their pain. How does this glorify the Lord, you may ask? Because it is His strength and His promises which they tightly cling to. This leaves you saying at the end of the book, "There must be something to this Jesus."
God is good, no matter what!
