At the end of her bestselling memoir Mennonite in a Little Black Dress  Rhoda Janzen had reconnected with her family and her roots though her future felt uncertain. But when she starts dating a churchgoer this skeptic begins a surprising journey to faith and love.Rhoda doesn't slide back into the dignified simplicity of the Mennonite church. Instead she finds herself hanging with the Pentecostals who really know how to get down with sparkler pom-poms. Amid the hand waving and hallelujahs Rhoda finds a faith richly practical for life -- just in time for some impressive lady problems an unexpected romance and a quirky new family.Does This Church Make Me Look Fat? is for people who have a problem with organized religion but can't quite dismiss the notion of God and for those who secretly sing hymns in their cars but prefer a nice mimosa brunch to church. This is the story of what it means to find joy in love comfort in prayer and -- incredibly surprisingly -- faith in a big-hearted God.
