“In a recent piece for Harper’s magazine, journalist Jeff Sharlet exposed the secret theocracy that runs America. The article was widely noticed, but in fact Sharlet had failed to uncover an even more elite, more covert organization. I refer to the Committee to Promote the Genius of Eric Metaxas (COPGEM), founded in Savannah in December 2000. (The membership of COPGEM, of course, must remain a closely guarded secret.)

-John Wilson, Editor, Books & Culture

“Eric Metaxas is one of the most charming, articulate, and intelligent people I know. He is at once terrifically urbane, with a biting wit, and a gentle and genuine populist, at ease with virtually anyone on any topic. He enjoys listening to people as much as he genuinely enjoys making them laugh, and think. He is an intuitive sharer of both information and experience. He is a master improviser, fast on his feet, and able to hold audiences through sheer presence and candidness.”

-Charis Conn, Senior Editor, Harper’s

“Eric Metaxas is extremely funny, completely sincere, and always a joy to work with. He’s a truly gifted writer and an equally talented speaker. If I could handle a crowd like him, there’d be no need for the cucumber suit.”
