As I was preparing to read the Unlikely Disciple, I was preparing for the worst; I was expecting 315 pages of pure misery. But as I started to read the book, the first few pages were not bad, and soon enough I was on page 50 and not bored. I liked how the author Kevin Roose’s stories were so personal to him and easily relatable. As you read his stories, his attention to detail kept me captivated as his audience. I was intrigued to turn the page and figure out what “The Liberty Way” had in store for him. His transition was somewhat what my transition would be like if I transferred to a Christian school like Roose. I would need extra help to understand the bible, I would need to alter my vocabulary, and last of all I would need to change my mindset to focus more. Although I would never consider transferring to that type of school, Kevin Roose transitioned very smoothly to a Christian school. He had many problems going against him, but he came out of the Semester with a lot more maturity then he went in with. Thanks to his interview with Jerry Fallwell, it made his semesters work more beneficial because his book got more recognition due to Fallwell’s superiority in the Christian world.
