Synopsis: In this devilishly entertaining book, Tripp York takes it
upon himself to find the Prince of Darkness. Provoked by a wager
made in one of his religion classes, York explores whether in
proving the existence of Satan, we might in turn prove the
existence of God. Admitting the idea is not half-bad (and thus,
conversely, only half-good), York enlists the aid of numerous
ministers, theologians, spiritual warriors, pagans, shamanists,
fortune tellers, and Satanists in his fiendish quest to determine
the whereabouts of God's first fallen creature. Part memoir and
part theological treatise, The Devil Wears Nada is a compelling and
humorous account of the strange, bizarre, and (oftentimes)
offensive things we think about God, the Devil, and everything in
between. Endorsements: "Tripp York goes searching for Satan in the
classrooms and crossroads of America, but what he finds is quite
surprising. As he piles up example after hilarious example of
people searching for the wrong thing, he almost persuades me that
Hell really is other people. In The Devil Wears Nada, York
discovers that, in America, Christianity has become more the
devil's prisoner than it realizes." -Jeffrey C. Pugh, author of
Devil's Ink: Blog from the Basement Office "I loved this rollicking
journey to hell and back. Tripp York thinks that we ought to take
Satan seriously, as long as we mock, deride, and laugh at him the
whole time. Sex, money, power, religion--Satan is mixed up with all
of it, and in the funniest ways. This book is hysterically funny,
absolutely serious, and deeply Christian. If you have never thought
of Mennonites as funny (and who has?), then you need to read Tripp
York on Satan " -Will Willimon, author of Why Jesus? "I didn't want
to read this book. I didn't have time. So I just took a quick
glance before moving on to other things. But in that quick glance,
temptation came over me and I just kept turning pages. I couldn't
put it down. It made me laugh. It made me think. You'd better be
careful or the same thing could happen to you." -Brian McLaren,
author of A Generous Orthodoxy "York . . . attempts to examine the
existence of God through a back door, that is, by searching for
Satan. The effort offers a lively ride. York captivates the reader
with snappy prose and a disarming, at times self-effacing, line of
argumentation . . . ." -Publishers Weekly Author Biography: Tripp
