For Justin's Christmas List
Posted by
Justin Taylor commented a while back that evangelicalism is no longer capable of parody, it has become so much a caricature of itself. In the spirit of that comment, I give you "Your Best Life Now--the Game," inspired by Joel Osteen's best-selling book. The box cover features the smiling visage of Houston's favorite pastor. The ad copy reads:
"Players roll the die, answer questions and set goals for their real lives (for example, 'I want to spend more time with my family'). Reach the space labeled 'Tomorrow' and take a final step toward your potential. Contains 300 cards in 6 categories (such as 'Develop a Healthy Self Image,' 'Let Go of the Past' and 'Find Strength Through Adversity'), 50 Wonder Word cards, 12 Have Faith cards, 6 My Miracle envelopes, writing pad, game goard, play tokens, die, pencils."
Maybe on December 26 Justin can tell us which is worse: the game's playability or its theology.
