Mega Belt
Because I enjoy stories with surprise endings, the ending to Nick May’s book, “Mega Belt” elated me. Without revealing the outcome, I am also left wondering about the author’s final thoughts concerning Christians and the church networks. Maybe we will learn more in the sequal?
The reader must be careful to not misunderstand the target of the author’s satirical story–it is not the spirirual church that Jesus Christ established but the people in the name of the church who hold so strongly to tradition that they tend to offend and confuse those they wish to witness about their faith. Nick seems to imply that churches (often the mega ones) have lost the ability to get down to the level of the younger generation.
The hilarious stories of the lives of the characters must not be taken too seriously. We can all relate to the times in our lives that we questioned authority and tradition, not just in the church. Have compassion for these characters; they are just feeling their way through life.
