Lamb Special Gift Ed: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal
Christopher Moore
William Morrow, 2007
Bloody Brillant
A first timer of Moore, I got this when I read the first few chapters while at a friend's house. I tell you, the opening paragraph is all you need to become hooked.
Moore's work is painstaikingly true-to-earth, making Jesus [Joshua] a more human-esque, loveable and ...

The Gospel According to Jesus Christ
Jose Saramago
Harvest Books, 1994
Imaginative and Provocative
This is a wonderful work of fiction that is creatively devised and unique. It is certainly, as has previously been forewarned by others, not for the devout reader who will take offense when faced with a work of fiction that does not accurately depict Jesus and those ...

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal
Christopher Moore
Harper Paperbacks, 2003
Biff is a Great Read!
A well crafted mixture of historical fact and fiction with a heavy helping of humor and a dash of irreverence. The blend somehow manages to respect the long-held image of Christ while creating a believable character at the same time.

The World According to Bertie

Another well written story
This story follows the 44 Scotland St series very well. I'm please his characters stay in character. A good read, as all of his series are. For anyone just starting to read Alexander McCall Smith, he writes stores that can be read out load to any audience.

The Gospel According to Jesus: What Is Authentic Faith?
John MacArthur
Zondervan, 2008
One of the most important books in the past 20 years
I first read this book when it was published in 1988. It countered the easy believism, self-delusional evangelism pervasive in my then-independent Baptist circles and confirmed the serious gospel of God's grace. I read several of the one-star reviews, and they ...

Ann Coulter
Crown Forum, 2004
I actually read the book
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R224FEPDV6YT2Z Coulter's right, liberals really do lie. The first lie liberals tell is that they are not really liberal, but that hardly stands up to much scrutiny, because a true liberal will throw a tantrum once their ...

Live from Golgotha: The Gospel According to Gore Vidal
Gore Vidal
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1993
What would Jesus do? "select all" then "delete"
The book is first and foremost a lampoon of Christianity, more specifically, the early years of the church. St. Timothy is a first hand observer St. Paul's effort to expand the market for Christianity. Other Vidal books have documented his cynicism of Christianity and ...

The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember
Fred Rogers
Hyperion, 2003
Fred was a good neighbor...
Those of us who grew up with Mister Rogers will never forget him. He never talked down to us. He instead chose to speak to us as equals. He wasn't trying to sell us anything, make us "feel cool," or make us part of an "exclusive club." He told us always to remember: "I ...

The Gospel According to John: An Introduction and Commentary (Pillar New Testament Commentary)
Donald A. Carson
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1991
A Sound, Reliable and Illuminating Commentary on John
I keep this book on my desk right beside Craig S. Keener's commentaries. Carson writes clearly and succinctly and touches on almost every mystery of the Gospel that concerns me. I think he is completely correct in his criticism of the skeptics. The book is obviously ...
