A pretty funny book that only falters because it is not as objective as it pretends to be. I would have been fine with the book had the author been up-front and saying here's my take on Bible stories and I'll throw in some funny snarky comments as well. Instead the author promises a straightforward retelling of the stories with snarky comments. Not as irreverent as one might expect and funny, just don't expect the promised objectivity. Very amusing reading of the bible with modern lingo and stuff. Like the book of Job. "Gad and Satin make this crazy bet.Satin claims this guy Job only loves god because of all the stuff God has given him. So to prove Satin wrong GoD allows Satin to kill his wife and kids and strip him of his wealth to top it all off satin gives Job all sorts of sores and diseases and even makes his smell bad. Satin loses the bet and gives God the Spiritual equivalent of a $20 or what ever it was they wagered." keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

A frequently hilarious, often shocking, but always accurate retelling of the Bible, including the parts selectively left out by Sunday School teachers and church sermons. Irreverent yet faithful, this book is a must-listen for anyone who wants to see past the fog of religious agendas and cultural debates to discover what the Bible really says.

Provided in ebook format from the people at www.netgalley.com. Unfortunately in a DRM edition and of such a size that it was practically impossible to read on any ebook reader (and I tried!), making me resort to reading it on my computer whilst I had the chance and before it the expiry date kicked in
What I did see did cut to the chase, with many of the books cut down to a reasonable 1 or 2 pages of text. The cartoons nicely summed up the chapter, but seemed to be squashed tiny at the bottom of the page - imagine a MATT cartoon in the Telegraph newspaper or a side cartoon from The New Yorker. I will admit that I didnt read all of the book, through technology woes and other books to read rather than an overall lack of desire to address this kind of book
