If you walk around thinking you can just be "awesome" without even trying, well, you clearly need to read this book. And yes, this is a real book. According to Amazon:
Anybody Can Be cool-But Awesome Takes Practice is an adventure in letting truth shape one's self-image.
Bestselling author Lorraine Peterson helps teens:
Discover what God says about each one of them.
Focus on biblical truths that free people to express their true personalities.
Be strong to stand up to the constant lies from Satan regarding inferiority, lack of self-acceptance and peer pressure.
Become the unique and beautifully designed person God has created to reflect Jesus Christ to the world.
Thirteen weeks of challenging and inspiring readings encourage young people to apply the power of their faith and value in Christ to the issues facing them at school, at work, with friends and family.
If there's one thing cool teens need to make that next step to awesome, it's definitely reading books about the Lord and then working on a 13 week Lord-loving program to help them deal with their inabilities to be totally awesome.

I love the implied racist and sexist message that the blond haired, white male knows they way to be awesome and has to explain it to the minorities and women. Go christianity! woo.
I like the 3rd line best: "Discover what God says about each one of them."
Can't you picture God sitting around the table talking shit about teens? What would he even say? "Screw those kids, I'm going to give them pimples, and make them get erections at inopportune times." And who would he be talking to? Rodney Dangerfield? Abraham Lincoln? Tattoo from Fantasy Island? Wait scratch that last one, he committed suicide; that's a one way ticket to hell according to the Christians.
I think Ms. Peterson takes the God thing a bit too far. She apparently also wrote "If God loves me, why can't I get my locker open?" I didn't know there was a correlation between God's love and opening a metal cabinet.

When Zak from Saved By The Bell tells you how to be awesome, you had best listen.

That's not TV's Mark Paul Gosselar, that's a young John Tesh--and I think we all know there's nothing more awesome than that.
A friend of mine bought that book for my roommate. I wanted to read it just for a goof, but I gave up after about 6 sentences.

I think you are on to something but I now think it seems to be some form of Gosselar-Tesh hybrid, as designed by a sitcom Mengele.
By the way, an easy shortcut to awesome? That neat sweater. Dang those guys bring the cool.
