"Thanks to Tim, I see that the ‘Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep’ kids prayer is more horrifying than anything Alice Cooper ever wrote. Tim is that guy who says everything you've ever thought but were never clever enough to come up with yourself. Ridiculously hilarious."
Sean Colelli - Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock, Phoenix, Arizona
"I’ve never seen a performer command a stage like Tim Hawkins. Tim goes from 0 to 60 lightning fast, and the audience stays with him from the opener through the finale. He is quite simply one of the most talented comedians in any genre out there today. From parody songs to stand-up bits to audience interaction, he’s phenomenal. And I’m a fan."
Michael W. Smith - Recording Artist
"Tim may be low on blinker fluid, but his songs and jokes make our family laugh till we cry. All hail Mr. Yoga Pants!"
Kirk Cameron - Actor, Producer
"Tim Hawkins is not right in the head, and neither are you because you picked up this book. If you want to feel more normal, read this and laugh at him. That's how he's made his career. Trust me, he likes it! I dared Tim to write this book, taunting him that he was only capable of writing 120 characters at time. Good job, Tim! Homeschooling works! (Please check my spelling. I went to public school.)"
Kerri Pomarolli - Comedian, Author of Moms' Night Out and Other Things I Miss
"I first met Tim and saw him perform in 2008, and I’ve been a raving fan ever since. Tim’s insights are dead-center accurate, and his stand-up comedy is cleverly hilarious. I know that like me you’ll find this book entertaining, perceptive, and too much fun to only read once."
C. Norwood Davis - CFO, The John Maxwell Company
"Diary of a Jackwagon is comedy caffeine in print. With an amazing alchemy of goofball wit, smart aleck comments, and 'the king has no clothes' clowning, Hawkins liberates our inner Jr. Higher, gives a loud raspberry to our personal Pharisee, and provides much needed exercise to those long dormant belly-laugh muscles. I plan to send a copy of this book to every humorless sourpuss and 'get off my lawn' acquaintance I know. Thank you, Tim, for making my gift shopping easier."
Rick Bundschuh - Author of Soul Surfer, Kauai, Hawaii
"Tim’s musings and missives in Diary of a Jackwagon take us deeper into the thoughts of a man who finds the funny in yoga pants, Snickaloafs, and Bible stories. I put Tim in the same league with Dave Barry and Erma Bombeck as an American humorist."
Mike Alley - 95.1 SHINE-FM and 48Live Productions
"When we first booked Tim for a concert at our church, a client testimonial on his website warned that attendees might 'pee their pants' due to laughter. A vulgar endorsement, right? As a physician, I was pleased that there was indeed an increased demand for incontinence medications after the show. After reading Diary of a Jackwagon, Tim's comedy will once again be very good for my business."
Brandon Webb M.D. - Family Physician, Lincoln, Nebraska
"If you think that great comedy always comes from a tortured soul, Tim Hawkins will prove you wrong. I laughed till I passed out reading this book. Tim is without reservation one of the finest comedians of our generation. This book takes his unique comedy to a whole new level."
John Bledsoe - Speaker, Estate Planner, Author of The Gospel of Roth
"I'm proud to join in the Brotherhood of Jackwagons everywhere! In concert and in this book, I laugh so hard at Tim and think 'As a husband, dad, and everyday guy, Tim sure is some kind of jackwagon.' About two heartbeats later it occurs to me. . . . 'Oh no! He's talking about ME!'"
Tim Hattrick - The Tim and Willy Radio Show, Phoenix, Arizona
"Tim has a refreshing take on everyday moments that make you approach life with a more playful lens. If you need a good laugh in the midst of your day, this is the book to pick up and read."
Miles McPherson - Senior Pastor, Rock Church, San Diego, California
"At home with family and on the tour bus, Hawkins is constantly capturing the stuff that makes people laugh. Open this book and enjoy laughter from one page to the next."
Tim DeTellis - President, New Missions, Orlando, Florida
"I'm grateful that Tim has finally written a book so that I can get a Tim fix whenever I need it."
Gary Dixon - Executive Director, Northwest Ministry Conference, Seattle, Washington
"Tim connects with his audience like most public people never do. I wondered how Tim's stand-up style would translate to the written word. Answer? It's absolutely delightful and hysterical. You can enjoy this book bit by bit or all in one sitting. And please, don't test out any of the lyrics from 'Things you don't say to your wife.' Take my word for it."
Ken Davis - Comedian, Author of Fully Alive
"Tim has an uncanny way of putting his slightly skewed twist on our everyday routines to create comedy genius that connects with us all. Generally, I shy away from any book that I can’t color, but I made an exception for Jackwagon. I may never pick up a crayon again."
Dan Rupple - Producer, Writer, Founding member of Isaac Air Freight Comedy Troupe
"Funny, hilarious, ridiculous are the first three words that come to mind. I have never laughed so long or so many times. Read and get ready."
Johnny Hunt - Senior Pastor, FBC Woodstock (Georgia) and former president of the Southern Baptist Convention
"Tim is on the short list of men my children like more than me. He absolutely has given our whole family countless hours of entertainment with his stand-up comedy and songs like ‘Chick-fil-A.’ Plus, we can't figure out if he looks more like Dale Earnhardt Jr. or the guy from Sister Wives."
Bob Sturm - The Bob and Dan Radio Show, Sportsradio 1310 The Ticket, Dallas, Texas
"I’ve always suspected that Tim Hawkins is a taco short of a combo platter, and now I have proof. While reading these pages I felt guilty laughing, like when the kid falls on his face in the school play. It’s sad but it's true and it's funny . . . so I laughed. I keep wondering if Tim will snap out of it one day. Maybe, but hopefully not until he’s written another book. This is comedy gold!"
Pete Briscoe - Senior Pastor, Bent Tree Bible Fellowship, Carrollton, Texas
"The way Tim links thoughts together is brilliant. I couldn't wait to see the next crazy idea. How did this guy stay focused in school? Tim's book actually puts into words what many others (some of whom are confined to an institution) are unwilling or unable to say. You absolutely must read this book and catch a glimpse of how Tim thinks. It's a bit scary!"
Bill Graening - Director, ALIVE Festival
"There is a guitar-string thin line between lunatic jester and genius saint. Jackwagon is a joy to read as Tim dances on that line. What C. S. Lewis did for the formation of critical thinking in the faith, Tim Hawkins does to allow us to see the hilarious side of God in reality. If you’ve always wanted to believe God actually created laughter, this book is a MUST read."
Kenn Kington - Comedian, Speaker, Founder of Ultimate Comedy Theatre
"I rarely laugh at books, but I found myself laughing out loud reading Diary of a Jackwagon."
Dave Nowak - Executive Director, Laugh All Night Concerts
"Tim is the most outrageous, outlandish guy we've seen at our annual #LFLGala. Edmonton loves Tim!"
Craig Hutscal - Founder, Laugh for Life Gala, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
"We are made in the image of God, but deep down we all know that the gene pool was contaminated by the time we were born. That's why the best comedy makes us laugh at ourselves. There is probably not a weirder group of people than Christians. I should know. I lead them. The beautiful thing about Christians laughing at ourselves is that it helps us lighten up and not act better than the rest of the world. I can only imagine Jesus reading this book. He is laughing so hard. I imagine a snort."
Dr. Tim Harlow - Senior Pastor, Parkview Christian Church, Orland Park, Illinois
"Tim's refreshingly honest and family-friendly take on the many humorous parts of life will have you laughing from start to finish. Our family couldn't put it down! You'll be reading Diary of a Jackwagon out loud for the whole family to enjoy."
Rick Santorum - Presidential candidate, former US Senator, coauthor of Bella's Gift
