Beliefnet has compiled this list of Reality TV’s Ten Most Memorable Christians. (Though, actually, since they include the Duggar family, it’s more like a Top Twenty. Why, oh why, does the family with 17 kids have to be from Arkansas? And why does the father have to be named “Jim-Bob”?)

Carissa Turner Smith is a compulsive reader, writer, and Irish dancer. She earned her Ph.D. in English at Penn State and currently teaches literature and composition courses there. At age three, she announced that all she wanted to do was “sit at a desk and read and write,” and she has been trying to make good on that promise ever since. Fortunately, she is occasionally distracted from this mission by her husband Stephen and their cheese-obsessed cat. A loyal native of Arkansas, she has always loved the fact that Jesus dwelt in an underappreciated corner of Galilee (see John 1:46).
