review:
'God is Disappointed in You' by Mark Russell with cartoons by Shannon Wheeler is a paraphrase of the Bible condensed into a few paragraphs per book.

Each of the 66 books of the Bible is paraphrased with some humor and swear words occasionally injected. Almost all of the chapters also include a pretty clever cartoon by Shannon Wheeler that kind of reminded me of New Yorker style cartoons.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book. As someone who has read the Bible a number of times, I expected to not like this. It was irreverent at times, but surprisingly reverent as well. I found myself laughing and applauding an author who took the time to read and understand a book I love. It's certainly not for everyone. The hyper-religious will find it offensive, as will the anti-religious, but I liked it.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Top Shelf Productions and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
