librarianryan 's review for:

4.0

I received this book as a GoodReads give away. I entered the give away not for myself, but for my guy. He is very catholic, but with a perverse sense of humor. This seemed something that would be right up his alley. I didn't really look though the book when it came in, and waited to give it to him. As I was standing in the living room he says to me "Ryan, Here is your first-class, one-way ticket to Hell! Enjoy the ride." After giving him a look he says WHAT??? Its in the book. I was like yeah right, but he was not kidding. That was the inscription from the author. Now I had to read this book.

And he was right. But I think the author will get there first, since he wrote it. But when you go, it will be laughing. Stories from the bible as you have never heard them before. We were trying to think of a way to describe it, and came up with an illiterate redneck homeboy, describes what happens in the bible. With the language of a sailor to go along. This is not a bible you want to take to church, or a funeral for that matter (oops), but the author is right. It is the BEST GOD DAMNED VERSION!
