Summary

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 interminable passages, 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-listen for anyone who wants to see past the fog of religious agendas and cultural debates to discover what the Bible really says.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

This book is well written, delivered and informative. The colloquial language had made the content easier to enjoy and even understand.

At first I was profoundly shocked, appalled. Then became very interested. Now... 🙄 A great, unbiased, concise interpretation of the most read book on earth!

I bought this on a whim in one of those Daily Deals and I'm glad I did as Mark Russell's abridged journey through the books of the bible turned out to be highly entertaining and engaging.

Russell's aim was to stay true to the content of the bible while breaking the various books down to their essential message and telling it in a way that would be accessible to modern readers. Did he manage that? As far as accuracy goes I've no idea as I've never had the patience to suffer through the archaic language of the actual bible! What he did succeed in was giving a summary of the various books in the bible and telling it all in a very engaging and entertaining way. The humour was definitely a little bit irreverent but it was also hilarious. I've not laughed so hard while listening to a book for years!

It was great to learn a bit more about the stories in the bible and to be entertained at the same time. All in all I have to say I really loved this one and would recommend it to anyone who always wanted to read the bible, but never has because of its giant size and archaic language, and who is not likely to be offended by the irreverent style of humour employed by Russell.

James Urbaniak gave a fantastic performance. He really got the tone of the story.

Great!
