Well worth it! There is an audio read by John Cleese that is hilarious and is every bit as relevant today as when it was written and read.
Some may take issue about the christian framing, but I think (for example) even George Carlin would have loved the delicious irony in every word:
"They still connected 'thinking' with 'doing', and were prepared to alter their way of life as the result of a chain of reasoning".

Readers as different as David Foster Wallace and Antonin Scalia loved this book.
It's too bad the orange narcissistic grifter never picked it up.
Great deal, thanks for the heads up OP! This is a must read, especially for people who grew up in a Christian household but never really understood what a personal relationship with Jesus looks like.
