From the publisher
Imus is back -- by popular demand -- with the Second Greatest Story Ever Told, the hilarious novel about the most outrageous TV evangelist of them all -- Billy Sol Hargus.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
RELEASE NOTES:
This is one of many Bookcrossing books on a table in the second floor hallway at 149 York Street. It's a Yale building with restricted access, which is why I only make release notes for a few books (to keep the UBCZ on the Go Hunting page without flooding inboxes with alerts for unhuntable releases). If you have a Yale ID (or know someone who does), you may be able to get in. Use the door to the right; the door on the left goes to the basement.
