Praise forA Delirious Summer

“Quirky characters keep the reader interested . . . Blackston’s tongue-in-cheek humor about the lives of Christian singles will grab the attention of readers.” Publishers Weekly

“Amusing adventures among the questing ladies . . . [who] practice serial churchgoing, ‘hopscotching’ from Pentecostal to Methodist to Southern Baptist in search of the elusive Mr. Right.” Booklist,starred review

“Lean and breezy style. This sequel toFlabbergastedis top quality lad lit, straight from the guys’ hearts to yours. The first half of the book is witty and funny, followed by a second half full of wise insight.” Romantic Times

“Blackston brings back some of the same quirky cast of characters fromFlabbergasted, including larger-than-life blonde Darcy Yeager and unorthodox Alexis Demoss. Offer[s] the rarely seen perspective of the young, single Christian male trying to balance his emotional and physical needs in the dating world with his spiritual calling and growth. Recommended. Library Journal

“Fast, funny, and quirky . . . A deliriously good book.”

ChickLitBooks.com

“Combining unforgettably quirky characters with wacky situations and lots of humor, Blackston parades for the public a tale fit to rival his first. This laugh-out-loud read is laced with spiritual insights and misadventure romance. If you’ve ever scanned the sanctuary for prospects, letA Delirious Summerbuoy your spirits—but be prepared for the ride of your life.” ChristianBookPreviews.com

“Blackston has brought his inimitable and delightful humor back to this novel. While most of the action revolves around the Presbyterians, no denomination is left unskewered. Blackston doesn’t take religious trappings too seriously, and neither do the Ladies of the Quest, Greenville’s young single women trolling for potential husbands: they will attend any church so long as the single male pickings are good. Most important: these characters build community. Whether they’re in a South American city, the rainforest, on a beach, or in a parish hall, they take each other as they are and find ways to love each other. What could be more Christian—no matter what denominational stripes are donned?” FaithfulReader.com

“Takes you into the psyche of a single man. A humorous yet thought-provoking novel about dating,

church-hopping, friendship, and missions,A Delirious Summeris an enjoyable romantic escape that single as well as married individuals won’t want to put down.” Charismamagazine

The Buzz onFlabbergasted

“Amazing. A novel with no illicit sex, bad words, racial slurs, or crime that is simultaneously serious, hilarious, and impossible to put down.” The DallasMorning News

“Blackston’s first novel is refreshingly honest in its portrayal of young, single Christians. Good writing and an ample dose of humor make this as charming asBridget Jones’s Diaryfrom the male point of view. Highly recommended.” Library Journal

“Imaginative first novel . . . sometimes brutally honest but always refreshingly funny.” Library Journal,Best Genre Fiction 2003, Christian Fiction

“Blackston’s tale is a zany take on twentysomething life in the shadow of the steeple—and proof that when it comes to courtin’, less can definitely be more.” Fort WorthStar-Telegram

“Ray Blackston [finds] humor in the absurdities of American dating rituals while weaving a healthy dose of religion and romance through both. An ideal reading choice.” Bookpage

“If you only read one novel this summer, let this be it!”

Crossings Book Club main selection

“Lad lit with great buzz and a voice very much like Nick Hornby,Flabbergastedis well worth checking out.” Bookreporter

“This is one of the feel-good novels of the year. A fun, lighthearted and thoroughly enjoyable ‘relational gumbo’ of a novel . . . quirky and very satisfying.” CCMmagazine

“Intelligently funny.”

Singer/songwriter Andrew Peterson,Love & Thunder

“Ray Blackston takes an amusing look at the Christian singles scene; the story proceeds at a leisurely, episodic pace.” Romantic Times

“Full of quirky characters, including our slightly jaded hero, this book made me laugh out loud. Fasten your seat belts and get ready for a wild ride!” Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author ofBad Girls of the BibleandBookends
