About this listen
Marty Mann and Nellie Dixon are back for another irreverent, liberal, twisty, time-travel comedy! This time they have Jesus Christ, the actual guy, on their side.
The timeline correction Marty Mann and Nellie Dixon accomplished in their first episode was successful.... Or was it? When the two humans and their Krichard friends, Chrissie and Tina, return to year 2020 Earth to verify the change, they find an advanced, peaceful planet.
The four friends move into Marty’s new timeline home and the next morning head out for a flying car tour of Oodlelakeolis. The city, which was Minneapolis in the previous timeline, is beautiful from the air, but when they swoop down to land, the Colorless Ones, a cult of religious extremists from the planet Krichardia, reverse the timeline change and abduct Chrissie and Tina.
Instantly, President Handley is back to dropping nuclear bombs, and once again, Marty and Nellie must find a way to stop him.
Our heroes take the time-traveling Chromosphere Cruiser back to AD 31, with plans to restore the advanced timeline. Unfortunately, an unexpected event forces them to return to the year 2020, but they have a stowaway - Jesus Christ!
Can Marty Mann and Nellie Dixon save the world and rescue Tina and Chrissie with snark being their only superpower? Can a dark-skinned Jesus with a fondness for profanity and a disdain for religious hypocrisy thrive in the 21st century? And who are the Soldiers of the White Jesus? These questions and more will be answered in this unforgettable episode.
Time Is Irreverent 2: Jesus Christ, Not Again! is a hilarious, thought-provoking satire with unpredictable twists, colorful and colorless aliens, the outrageous Holy Smokin’ Hot Nellie, and a juicy role for Jesus Christ, the actual guy!
Each novel in the Time Is Irreverent series stands alone, and a humorous prologue quickly gets listeners up to date.
Publisher's warning: This novel is intended for a liberal audience and is not recommended for conservative listeners.

Five stars: "For those aficionados of entertaining, optimistic sci-fi, who have been avidly waiting for another Time Is Irreverent adventure - your wait is over. It was a relief to read for a change a sci-fi novel not mired in the hopelessly depressive, dystopian formula that seems to be the fashion these days. Marty Essen has cleverly structured his novel to present a mildly humorous look at aliens, time travel and politics while at the same time examining some of the crucial issues that confront society today. He takes a sideways look at the close relationship between supposedly Christian churches and political parties, the shady connections between politicians and big business, and the resultant plundering of our planet’s resources. He makes one of the most intelligent comments I have come across regarding American gun control where he observes that when the Founding Fathers wrote the Second Amendment, they could not have known that muskets would eventually be replaced by modern semi-automatic assault rifles. Whether the observation is original or not, it got this resident of Scotland, who has never handled a gun, thinking on the issue. Marty Essen has produced a fine follow-up to his first time traveling escapade and I hope that the likeable characters he has created will get many future outings. A great addition to a currently gloomy, pessimistic genre. I do not hesitate to recommend it." (Charles Remington, Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews)
“An excellent follow-up to the original, and this from someone who typically hates sequels! All the same great characters and more, plus Jesus--although not your mama’s Jesus. The funny is funnier, the crazy crazier, and the politics even more in your face (in the good way!) If you loved the first, you’ve got to read the second. Well done, Marty!”--Jeff Abugov, writer, producer, director, and Golden Globe Award, Peabody Award, and People’s Choice Award-winner
“Time Is Irreverent 2 is a madcap blasphemous comedy of the most delightful sort. Recommended for those whose tastes incline that way; if you loved Time Is Irreverent, run, don’t walk, to consume this perfect sequel.” (Tom Flynn, Editor Free Inquiry magazine)
