This book, The Return of Radio Free Bubba by Pat Jobe, Kim Taylor and Meg Barnhouse is a keeper. This is a book of quick southern essays each little morality lessons cloaked in "Bubba-speak." I loved this book. LOVED IT... I am not from the south, but I live here now and I am finally understanding the difference between a "bubba and a "red-neck." You know a "red-neck" by the meanness in his stories how they put down someone weaker than themselves and you know that even without seeing it, a red-neck has a Confederate flag decal somewhere on his/her pick up truck... Well, Pat, Kim and Meg are "Bubbas." Bubbas are sweet funny people you want to share pie with, while they amuse you with their take on the world... The short essays in this book poke fun at the human condition, not at a specific human. This book, refreshingly is NOT biting political satire... it is nice. Really Nice... You read this book in an evening or an afternoon sitting on the porch drinking sweet iced tea and by the time you get to the last story, you have cried a bit, thought a lot, and laughed in some places until sweet iced tea came out of your nose. You want these people to come sit on your porch and tell you their stories in person and you know it won't get mean. But I am sure hugging and tissues would be involved... The Jesus Abraham frog story is worth the whole price of the book. This book is wonderful... I will read it again and again and I will certainly buy it for all my kids to stuff in their stockings... And I am going to order the other book by this trio right away...
