Mark Russell & Shannon Wheeler's faithful-yet-irreverent
approach to the Bible made their book GOD IS DISAPPOINTED IN YOU a
modern cult classic. Now, by popular demand, they turn their
attention to the best parts left out of the canonical Bible,
including the Midrash, the Apocrypha, Gnostic Gospels, and more!
And if you thought the BIBLE had some weird stuff in it...
God Is Disappointed in You is for people who would like to read the
Bible... if it would just cut to the chase. Stripped of its arcane
language and its interminable passages of poetry, genealogy, and
law, every book of the Bible is condensed down to its core message,
in no more than a few pages each. Written by Mark Russell with
cartoons by New Yorker cartoonist Shannon Wheeler, God Is
Disappointed in You is 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-read for anyone who
wants to see past the fog of religious agendas and cultural debates
to discover what the Bible really says.
