What's So Good About the Good Book: A Guide for the Sunday School Truant

An irreverent retelling of the stories of the Old Testament, this little book doesn’t try to answer the big questions. Geared toward the religiously uninformed young reader, the book offers up the greatest hits of biblical lore with a liberal dose of modern lingo and humor while remaining true to the storyline. Highlights include The Garden of Eden (“A Snake in the Grass”), Joseph and the Multi-Colored Coat (“Fashion Disaster”), Samson & Delilah (“The Very Bad Hair Day”), and David & Goliath (“The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall”). Kingdoms rise and crumble, plagues and floods descend from on high, and prophets get themselves swallowed by whales and fed to lions. Dogma-free and philosophy-lite, complete with charts, graphs, and an index of characters, this is not your typical Bible story book.
