In "The Unlikely Disciple," Kevin Roose embarks on a daring and unprecedented journey that bridges worlds apart. As a liberal, secular student from Brown University, Roose's encounter with students from the conservative Liberty University sparks a radical idea: to become one of them. This narrative is not just Roose's undercover semester at the heart of evangelical Christian education; it's a profound exploration of faith, identity, and the vast expanse that lies between differing world views. Through classes that range from Introduction to Youth Ministry to Evangelism 101, encounters with political figures, and adherence to the stringent "Liberty Way," Roose delves deep into the fabric of Liberty University, offering an insightful, often humorous, and always respectful account of his experiences. Roose's narrative is as much an adventure as it is a soul-searching journey. From participating in a spring break mission trip aimed at converting party-goers to Christianity, to joining a support group for recovering masturbation addicts, and even conducting what would become the last in-depth interview with the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, Roose's semester is filled with unexpected challenges and discoveries. "The Unlikely Disciple" is a testament to the power of empathy, the value of open-mindedness, and the surprising things that happen when we step into another's shoes. Roose's story is a compelling invitation to look beyond our own prejudices and find common ground, even in the most unlikely places.
