Megabelt is a fictional account of the South and its preoccupations with modern Christianity told from the point of view of a boy named Gil growing up in what is otherwise known as the "Bible Belt." The readers will find themselves steeped in the world of Gil whose experiences and questions lead him to unravel some of the Bible Belt's many dominant and passively adopted messages as well as its numerous types of characters. Gil is the quintessential mind of most inhabitants of the Belt. He is you. He is I. While his experiences greatly reflect those of the author, his encounters will never go unidentified with by the reader. Megabelt is a fabricated entity describing the world that exists between traditional Bible Belt culture and contemporary Bible Belt culture, the term explores the differences between as well as the ever-growing and ever-changing dynamics of the two. Megabelt has no message, no moral proclamation or agenda. Its purpose is to highlight the truths of the Bible Belt culture and therefore perform a complete overhaul of its patrons' thoughts and lifestyles for better or for worse. Any further sort of significance or meaning drawn from its pages is strictly subjective. May, NickBorn in Pensacola, FL, Nick May is rooted in the culture about which he writes. The youngest of three sons, he grew up in a home filled with love, laughter, and open dialogue as his parents gave many hours in youth ministry during Nick's growing years. Nick is currently finishing his degree work in English and Creative Writing at the University of West Florida. He plays bass in an indie-rock band, LilyWhite and attends local non-denominational church. Nick enjoys music, books, games, creeks, and even an occasional author-like pipe. Megabelt is Nick May's first published book. | ||||

Review of Megabelt
Bob Makar suggests we should be kind to the hilarious characters in this book!
Megabelt by Nick May (Review at GeoffreyLentz.com)
"In short, Megabelt is not about attacking the church, but trying to find a more faithful way of being the church God has called us to be. It represents one fictional case study from the emerging church. Nick May presents not an end to the evangelical church, but instead its future-a new reformation of faithfulness."
... At times I was bothered, at times I laughed so hard I had to put the book down, and at times I almost cried. No doubt you'll thoroughly enjoy this book. ...
