God is the author of joy. Read the opening words of either of the Genesis stories (wait there's more than one?) and you'll meet a being who creates everything with love and happiness. It's easy to imagine God dancing through creation flinging a paintbrush dipped in light. When did God become the judge? When did God become the angry, somber, pinch-faced deity looking down from on high with a bucket of lightning bolts at the ready? This book, like its predecessor, celebrates the God who laug...

We forget the psalms are song lyrics, most written by a troubled warrior, insomniac, street-musician king. Steve Case envisions all of these Davids through imaginative prose and pictures reframing all 150 psalms. The book captures the anger, the joy, the pleading for forgiveness, and the utter astonishment of a king who stops and fully realizes precisely who God is.

Can a monster pray? The creature invented by Mary Shelley was not the shambling mumbling monster from the movies (apologies to Mr. Karloff). Shelley's creature learned to reason and speak with his ear to the cabin wall of a family who lived in the woods. He learned to read when he discovered a leather satchel full of books in that same forest. What if one of those books was a Bible?

We keep trying to pull it and tug it and all the while it feels like we are slowly suffocating.YOU ARE ALLOWED TO LAUGH. The finger pointers and the self-appointed judges of what's appropriate and what isn't sit in the back row and scowl. They sing Joy to the World as if it were a funeral dirge. They say, "Stop that laughing. You are in CHURCH!"YOU ARE ALLOWED TO LAUGH. Jesus...

If you believe the Book of Revelation is a detailed and accurate account of the End of Days and how God will choose the righteous and leave the rest behind and anyone who makes fun of this sacred work is committing blasphemy...buy this book anyway.
