Direct from churchyards in all fifty states, the celebrated photo album of the American marriage of church and real estate Steve and Pam Paulson Church Signs Across Americacelebrates the wit, charm, and poetry of church signs from every state in the United States At once reverent and witty, these signs offer fascinating glimpses into American life that are variously humorous, inspirational, kitschy, backward, and kind-and occasionally all those things at once. After finding their inspiration for the book during a road trip from Florida to Alaska, husband and wife team Steve and Pam Paulson traveled through all fifty states photographing the signs of churches large and small, and of every denomination. From "Seven days without prayer makes one weak" to "The Ten Commandments are not multiple choice" to "Looking for a lifeguard? Ours walks on water," the photos in this collection are witty and wiseÑand already an uplifting and amusing classic.

STEVE PAULSON and PAM PAULSON, a husband and wife team, lived in Southern California for ten years before moving to Florida. Pam and Steve drove cross-country for three summers taking the photographs for Church Signs Across America, their first book.
