Wanting To Believe: GQ Goes To The Jesus Fest

A great read on the GQ magazine website by a writer who goes to Creation, a giant Christian music festival in Pennsylvania. If you're at all like me -- grew up in the church, listened to Petra, etc. -- you'll recognize the landscape. Funny, spot-on, thoughtful, and surprisingly candid, especially for a magazine like GQ. I was pretty impressed.

A quote:

But mostly I thought of Darius, Jake, Josh, Bub, Ritter, and Pee Wee, whom I doubted I'd ever see again, whom I'd come to love, and who loved God—for it's true, I would have said it even if Darius hadn't asked me to, it may be the truest thing I will have written here: They were crazy, and they loved God—and I thought about the unimpeachable dignity of that love, which I never was capable of.
