About this listen
The Bible offers some clues to God's personality - he's alternately been called vindictive and just, bloodthirsty and caring, all-powerful and impotent, capricious and foresighted, and loving and hateful. But no one has ever fully explored why God might be such a figure of contrasts. Nor has anyone ever satisfactorily explained what guides his relationship not just with angels, the devil, and his son, but also with all of creation. Might he be completely misunderstood, a mystery even to himself? Might his behavior and actions toward humankind tell us much more about him than it does about us? Enter the mind of the creator of the universe, travel with him through the heavenly highs and hellish lows of his story, from Genesis to Revelation, to better understand his burdensome journey: being God isn't easy. After hearing his story - at times troubling and tragic but always hilarious in its absurdity and divine in its comedy - you'll never look at a miracle or catastrophe - or at our place in the universe, or God's - the same way again.

loved it!
Chris has done a great job putting a funny spin on an already ridiculous book. This is the version of the bible that should be preached.

Shooting Fish In A Barrel
Making fun of religion is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel, but at least it is done well by Chris Matheson. It's satirical and comical and does a good job of pointing out the... flaws and illogic in the bible from gods point of view. Atheists of course will love it, some of the more open minded or liberal christians might enjoy it (maybe?). I imagine hard core christians will be praying for lightening to strike... It is narrated by. the author and he does a very good job, keeps it very interesting. Only negative point is that it is quite a short book.

Pure genius
If everyone read this book there would not be any organised religion. I can’t imagine anyone reading this can’t laugh at the utter absurdity of the bible..beautifully written and read..thank you
