About Crazy Book: A Not-So-Stuffy Dictionary of Biblical TermsThe Bible can be hard to understand. To many of us, it often does seem like a crazy book. But, according to the authors of Crazy Book, the crazy book we call the Bible actually teaches us the sanity that we need. The sanity that lets us know who God is, who we are in light of God’s love, and where God’s love can be found and experienced. Very similar in tone and organization to Crazy Talk, the authors of Crazy Book unleash their passion, faith, and humor. This time they have their sights on the Bible and biblical terms, and they don’t hold back. Here, they’ve elected to focus on major people, events, places, books, and types of literature in the Bible communicating the life-giving truth of the Bible via often knock-em-dead humor. The volume’s savvy and sassy overtones are bound to leave an impression. An accessible book almost devoid of scholarly jargon but filled with scholarly insight. The revised and expanded addition includes new and expanded entries and all new images. |
