The Resume

    (January 11, 1955- )
    Born in San Angelo, Texas
    Protestant preacher and author
    Long time pastor at Oak Hill Church in San Antonio TX
    Books include; Just Like Jesus, When God Whispers Your Name, God's Promises for You
    Only three time winner of the Christian Book of the Year Award

Why he might be annoying:

    His writing and preaching is sugar-coated, unremarkable, and of little intellectual interest.
    Neither he nor his church does much in the way of feeding the hungry or clothing the poor.
    His produced/writes a cartoon dvd series for children.
    In light of Jesus' commands to 'give all you have to the poor and follow me,' and 'it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven,' shouldn't he be giving some of that money away?
    He's real picky about the pronunciation of his last name. For the record, it's loo-kay-do not loo-kah-do.
    He has a lot of sappy, unoriginal quotes like, 'A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd' and 'The secret of loving is living loved.'
    He sticks his name on everything he does.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He's sold over 75 million copies of his 65 books.
    In 2005, Readers Digest named him the best preacher in America.
    He has never had even a whiff of scandal attached to his name.
    He had to retire from full-time ministry in 2005 due to a heart condition.
    He had to work very hard for a very long time for very little pay before hitting it big.
    He's inoffensive.
