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.

I loved it. It was educational, sombre and hilarious all in one. I wish he was brave enough to include Mohammad in the story. Maybe someone else will pick it up.

I heard about this book from his interview with Seth Andrews and I was not disappointed at all. it exposes or ridiculous bible stories are. It shows the flaws on the persona of Yahhweh.

Fantastic, funny, highly recommended!

I loved this story; fun romp through core christian mythology and lots of in jokes for those who follow the apologetics. Mathesons narration is perhaps not five star; but the book is still enjoyable and there remains somthing special about a by the author reading.

His voice is ideal for listening to while sleeping as well, somehow therapeutic!!

A divine comedy

Brilliant. Points out lunacy in the Bible story that I had not noticed before. I have read it twice now. Surely this is destined to become a classic. It strikes me that it could be a great antidote to Christian indoctrination of young people. Entertaining and educational.

Such a good idea

So poignantly funny that people on London’s streets turned to see who was laughing out loud
