RAPTURE PRACTICE
Book ID/图书代码： 06814012B59027
English Summary/英文概要： Aaron Hartzler grew up in a home where he was taught that at any moment Jesus might come down in the twinkling of an eye, and scoop his whole family up to Heaven. As a kid, Aaron was thrilled by the idea that each day might be his last one on planet Earth. He couldn’t wait to blastoff and join Jesus in the sky!
But as he turns sixteen, Aaron finds himself more and more attached to his life on Earth, and curious about all the things his family forsakes for the Lord. He begins to realize he doesn’t want the Rapture to happen, just yet; not before he sees his first movie, stars in the school play, or has his first kiss. Before long, Aaron makes the plunge from conflicted do-gooder to full-fledged teen rebel.
Whether he’s sneaking out, making out, or at the piano playing hymns with a hangover, Aaron learns a few lessons that can’t be found in the Bible. He discovers the best friends aren’t always the ones your mom and dad approve of, and the tricky part about believing is that no one can do it for you.
In this funny and heartfelt coming of age memoir, debut author Aaron Hartzler recalls his teenage journey to find the person he is without losing the family who loves him. It’s a story about losing your faith, finding your place, and learning your very own truth--which is always stranger than fiction.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 从小，Aaron Hartzler的家庭就教育他，任何时刻，耶稣在一眨眼的功夫就来了，并可能把他们全家都带去天堂。作为一个孩子，亚伦每天都在为一个想法兴奋——今天可能是他在地球上的最后一天。他已经迫不及待想要升上天空和耶稣在一起。
但是当亚伦16岁时，他发现自己越来越喜欢在地球上的生活，并且对他的家庭因为耶和华而放弃地球的所有事情都感到好奇。他开始意识到他不希望世界末日发生，他才刚刚看了他的第一部电影，才开始在学校玩耍，甚至才开始他的初吻。不久，亚伦有了很大改变，从一个矛盾的空想社会改良家变成了一个完全成熟的反叛青少年。
无论是偷跑出来还是找借口，或是在钢琴弹奏的赞美诗中宿醉，亚伦学到了圣经上没有的经验教训。亚伦发现最好的朋友不是爸爸妈妈都赞同的那一个，而是那个愿意为你做一些别人都不愿意做的棘手事情的人。
在这本有趣且真诚的回忆录里，作者亚伦首次回忆了他的青少年时光，去找那些他从来没有失去并深爱着他的人。这是一个比虚构更离奇的故事，它讲述了一个人失去信仰，然后找到自己的位置并学到了属于自己的真理。(LNL)

is the author of Rapture Practice, a young adult memoir about getting kicked out of his Christian high school two weeks before graduation, coming April 9, 2013, from Little, Brown. Aaron is also an actor whose autobiographical performances have been seen in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York where he received a GLAAD Media Award nomination for Outstanding Off-Off Broadway Performance. He’s performed in plays and musicals on regional stages across the country, and was featured in several TV pilots no one saw. You might have seen him in the very first episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia in the role of "Handsome Guy"--although you may have missed him, too, because at the time, his hair was strangely blond and decidedly not very handsome. Aaron lives in southern California with his boyfriend Nate (who is decidedly very handsome) and their two dogs Charlie and Brahms.
