Eating goose intestines with hot sauce. Taking a trans-continental flight to catch a cross-country train. Baring your soul on stage, to be berated by nasty Simon. These are just a few of the things people are willing to do for their 15 minutes of fame.Reality television is bigger than ever. There seems to be no end in sight to the dizzying lineup of new reality shows. The Real World, The Mole, Big Brother, Fear Factor, The Swan, Extreme Makeover, The Bachelor …the list goes on and on. But what is the driving force behind this genre?The Gospel According to Reality TV explores issues of morality, self-acceptance, love, courage, contentment, and faith. It asks tough questions like Can a Christian play Survivor and win without being deceptive and backbiting and still win? What values shouldn’t be compromised in the workplace? and How much is enough? More than a guidebook to the best and worst of reality TV, this book teaches readers to mine wisdom from the mistakes and shrewd choices of contestants, recognizing the good (and sometimes even the God) that goes unnoticed on reality television.
