Summary
What does it mean to give church a try when you haven't really tried since you were 12? At the end of her best-selling 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.

Not as engaging as Little Black Dress
Janzen's previous memoir is a book I've re-read several times, so I was hopeful about this one. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the same strong narrative arc or the loveable characters - in describing her return to her Christian faith and cancer battle, J produces a book which is more like a self-help guide than story. I felt uneasy to discover that the born-again pentecostal she sent up so pointedly in the last book, is her Mr Right in this one. And, in the end, I missed the Janzen family, who were the stars of Little Black Dress.
