This month’s Esquire pulls a few select quotes from the new book by Stephen Baldwin, youngest of the Baldwin clan, and apparently a post-9/11 convert to fundamentalist Christianity:

“God has called me to go and make disciples of the youth of America. That is what I’m going to do, and if you try and stop me, I am going to break your face.”

“‘But let me just tell you,’ I screamed at God. ‘You better be real, because if you aren’t, you will regret the day you ever messed with Stephen Baldwin.”

“And trust me, I had the 2001 Porsche Twin Turbo. That car would do zero to 60 in three seconds, but it was nothing but a little kid pedal compared to the ride the Spirit will take you on.”

“Here I’d always imagined Jesus was the sweet, cuddly, loving dude, and suddenly I find out he makes Conan the Barbarian look like Conan the wimp. He didn’t come with a guitar singing Kum Ba Yah. Jesus brought a sword to the earth, and he is still swinging it.”

Awesome. Just awesome.

Also, be sure and check out Baldwin’s new comic book series for kids, Spirit Warriors:

In Spirit Warriors, the first graphic novel from actor/producer Stephen Baldwin, six radical young kids enter the spiritual war zone every day for classic battles of good against evil. Each spirit warrior has his or her own unique ability, moving between the natural and supernatural to fight for their faith and the expansion of God’s kingdom.

Just to name a few, among them are “Skate” (an amazing athlete unconfined by his wheelchair), “Pray” (an older girl known as an intercessory prayer warrior), and “David” (a blind boy who sees what others do not).

The Spirit Warriors have given their hearts over to the Lord and will battle for his glory no matter the cost.

These are so going on my wish list.
