Long Synopsis:
A hilarious re-imagining of the heroes of the Old Testament for a modern
world-and the neurotic, demanding reader. In the beginning. . . there was
humor. Sure, it's the foundation for much of Western morality and the
cornerstone of world literature. But let's face it: the Bible always needed
punching up. Plus, it raised quite a few questions that a modern world
refuses to ignore any longer: wouldn't it be boring to live inside a whale?
How did Joseph explain Mary's pregnancy to the guys at work? Who exactly was
the megalomaniacal foreman who oversaw the construction of the Tower of
Babel? And honestly, what was Cain's problem? In Ladies and Gentlemen, the
Bible!, Jonathan Goldstein re-imagines and recasts the Bible's greatest
heroes with depth, wit, and snappy dialogue. This is the Bible populated by
angry loners, hypochondriacs, and reluctant prophets who fear for their
sanity. Basically, a Bible that readers can finally, genuinely relate to.
Comments:
I don't believe this book should be marked adult. It is not an adult
topic, and the words that are used are words found in many modern books. Can
you please change the adult designation to not marked adult. Beyond that
should be a fairly easy proof. Blank pages are well illustrations I think.
Page numbers are at the bottom of the page and some need to be filled in.
Besides that should be easy, have read it through completely. Have fun.
