God Is Disappointed in You
God Is Disappointed in You | Mark Russell
9 posts | 5 read | 8 to read
A humorous and concise take on the Old and New Testaments strips the Bible of its arcane language and condenses each book into its core elements.

4/5⭐ A humorous retelling/summary of the Bible is probably the only way I'll get through it, because wow is it full of some messed-up stories and inconsistencies/hypocrisies. This book is done well. #roll100

2. See my last post. I got to see Once the Musical and it was phenomenal.
3. Probably Chinese
4. Family is not close. But at least 15 I can think of. Most are out of state

Weekend #bookhaul! Provenance because I really liked Leckie's Imperial Radch trilogy, paperback Visser to replace my hardcover so my Animorphs collection matches, God is Disappointed in You because the first lines of Genesis brought out a fit of giggles in the middle of the bookstore. "In the beginning, God was lonely. So, he made the same mistake as a lot of men who live alone: he decided to go out and meet people."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hilarious and irreverent. I think most people with a familiarity with the Bible and a sense of humor will love this book. In the preface the author indicates he is not mocking nor endorsing the Bible. I would liken it to an extremely condensed MA version of The Message Bible.

We moved into our house in October and immediately had a carpenter over to get an offer on bookshelves on two walls in my office (wall shelves, not standing bookcases). It took until today to get that offer. Their price? 7800 USD + hours for actually putting them up. WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY?!

LeahBergen Yikes. 😬 8y
CouronneDhiver Omg, whatever. That's brutal 8y

RanaElizabeth Um, that is a lot of money. I say Ikea...that will save you so much money to buy more books with! 8y
tricours @RanaElizabeth we're gonna build something simpler ourselves instead. One wall has a slanted ceiling, which makes it a bit more difficult with ordinary bookcases. 8y
RanaElizabeth @tricours Good for you to do it yourself! Will love to see it when you're done. The boyfriend has begun pricing table saws already when we are years away from home ownership and DIY carpentry. 8y
tricours @RanaElizabeth My bf built an outdoor sofa corner for our last house (I'll miss that corner, it was my sleeping and reading spot in summer!) so at least we have the tools necessary already! 8y
ValerieAndBooks Wow...that is just crazy 😮 8y
Suet624 Yikes! 8y
EloisaJames That's crazy even for New York City!! I had a gorgeous wall of closets with shelves and doors put up fir less than that. Try home advisor.com? Worked for us 8y
Amandajoy That's ridiculous it's so expensive & it seems like they took forever to give you an estimate. Doesn't sound like they would be very good to work with. Good luck on building them yourself! 8y

God Is Disappointed in You is for people who would like to read the Bible...if it would just cut to the chase. Hilarious and fun to listen to.
