Is Jesus Kinda Hot?

A hilarious, candid, and insightful essay collection about faith and love from award-winning journalist Phillip Picardi.

In the tradition of Anne Lamott and Samantha Irby, this moving and uproariously funny essay collection follows Phillip Picardi’s journey from closeted Catholic school boy to godless Condé Nast beauty editor to Harvard Divinity School student and beyond.

With his singular voice and humor, Phill shares his adventures finding and losing and finding again his faith in God, love, people, and himself.

Or as Phill puts it, ＂One man’s quest to resolve the ultimate daddy issues.＂
