Ken Smith digs up some of the best "low-points" of the Bible in his brief, funny and insightful book.
Eye-opening, fascinating, and fun to read, especially with a real Bible
nearby to check up on the references. Not only does Mr. Smith do a
great job pointing out the Bible's wackier bits, he also gives good
overviews of the Bible's possible origins and most popular English
versions. Throughout, Smith shows genuine interest and even respect
along with the skepticism and iconoclastic humor. Unique, hilarious,
and a fine addition to any reference library, Ken's
Guide focuses solely on the strange, weird, sick parts of the Good
Book--the parts that never get mentioned by your pastor or
neighborhood born-again. Powerful stuff because Ken keeps
his prattle to a minimum and lets the Bible hang itself with its own
words. Ken's research and acid wit are brutal, and the guide is
compact and easy-to-read (unlike the Bible itself). Every page has
something twisted and fun. I never knew the Bible could be so
entertaining.
