Publisher's summary

At the end of her best-selling memoir Mennonite in a Little Black Dress, Rhoda Janzen had reconnected with her family roots, though her future felt uncertain. When this overeducated professor starts dating the most unlikely of men-a weight-liftin', church-goin', truck-drivin' rocker named Mitch-she begins a surprising journey to faith and love.

Nothing says, "Let's get to know each other!" like lady problems on an epic scale, but Mitch vows to stay by her side. Convinced that his bedrock character has something to do with his Pentecostal church, Rhoda suits up for a brave new world of sparkler pom-poms and hand-clappin' hallelujahs.

Written with her trademark "uproarious, bawdy sense of humor" (Minneapolis Star-Tribune), Mennonite Meets Mr. Right is witty and moving, perfect for anyone who has taken an unexpected detour only to find that new roads lead to rich destinations.

Just as funny as her first book

What did you love best about Does This Church Make Me Look Fat??

I most often listen to books while I work out. This book had me bursting out laughing regularly. If you liked her first book, you will like this one as well. She does an especially good job emphasizing certain words for real comic effect. She deals with serious issues of faith and cancer without sounding too preachy.

I hope she writes another book soon.

What about Rhoda Janzen’s performance did you like?

Her word choice and emphasis. You could just see her making a funny face, rolling her eyes, etc. as she ennuciated particular words.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Nice job addressing her changing ideas about worship and faith.

A Refreshing Read

It's great to read another of Janzen ' s books after Little Black Dress. Humor, insight, and profound truth combine to put her in the category with Anne Lamott.

Nice follow up book

I loved this and it made me laugh and cry. I adore that the author read this book. The stories she shares are serious but she has a light hearted way of sharing parts of her life. I enjoy the flashbacks.

Agony.

I’ve been through two rounds of breast cancer- the first was the most aggressive there is. I just do not get the author. The theological lecture all the way through was just (frankly) fantastical BS. And her opinion of abstinence is entirely the opposite of my experience- I just could not get there. The final straw was their (fiancé and author) consideration of the high school teenager and his brainwashed opinion of intimacy. I felt she was denying human inclination all due to falling into the fiction she was subjected to her whole life. I wanted to scream “snap out of it! You know it’s BS!” On another note, her writing is very good and she’s funny sometimes. However, no more from this author. No more sad brainwashing…..
