Grand Theft Jesus: The Hijacking of Religion in America (ISBN 978-0-307-39578-8) is a book by American author Robert S. McElvaine. It was published in 2008 by The Crown Publishing Group. The book is described[by whom?] as a passionate and often hilarious wake-up call to Christians to reject those who have stolen Jesus from Christianity and replaced what the author believes is His true message with an easy, feel-good scheme that promises salvation without sacrifice.[citation needed]
The book has been widely praised by people as diverse as the comedian George Carlin, and South African Methodist minister Alan Storey.[citation needed]
