Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction

Though not a regular reader of The Door Magazine as I find it a mite disrespectful at times, I do enjoy the section they call Truth is Stranger Than Fiction. In this section they highlight the most bizarre Christian products and advertising.

Regardless, I guess it does stand out from the rest of the mail I received and perhaps the church will see some growth from it.
