About this listen
God Is Disappointed in You is for people who would like to read the Bible...if it would just cut to the chase. Stripped of its arcane language and interminable passages, every book of the Bible is condensed down to its core message, in no more than a few pages each.
Written by Mark Russell with cartoons by New Yorker cartoonist Shannon Wheeler, God Is Disappointed in You is a frequently hilarious, often shocking, but always accurate retelling of the Bible, including the parts selectively left out by Sunday School teachers and church sermons.
Irreverent yet faithful, this book is a must-listen for anyone who wants to see past the fog of religious agendas and cultural debates to discover what the Bible really says.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Better then the reference material.
The narrator is amazing. If you don’t have time to read the bible or find it boring this is the book for you. Plus side it’s hilarious. #Audible1

Hilarious and thoughtful
I loved everything about this. Extremely creative writing and a fun way to keep you interested in the bible. While stripping away all the over the top preachiness they were able to leave behind humour and good messages that are portrayed through the teachings. Would recommend to anyone.

Amusing summary of the bible.
Captures the essence of the bible in often hilarious ways. I couldn't imagine a better narrator for the job. Don't listen to it if you are easily offended or if you take your Christianity (or yourself, or life) too seriously.

The Bible for those with a funny bone
This was an excellent book to listen to while working. I'm very familiar with the Bible, and it was hilarious and refreshing to hear each book summarized in so crisp and humorously as this. highly recommend for those who've read the Bible and those who haven't even opened its pages

A refreshing interpretation
Much of the bible can be challenging to interpret, and this book was an entertaining and informative way to digest the information. The performance of this audible reading was outstanding.

OMG - Best $20 EVER Spent on here!!
This book was amazingly awesome!! Intelligent humour, mixed with biblical stories sewn together seamlessly for today's generation. Once I started this book, I was unable to put it down. I finished it in its entirety in one weekend, and I'm a single working mother who was getting her child ready for back to school (first day at a new school - starting junior high to boot!). I just couldn't get enough. The narrator did a fantastic job - humorous, perfect inflections of emotions and sarcasm where required, and he actually felt like he truly believed what he was saying! I bought this book on a whim, and although I was raised Catholic I am nowhere near a staunch religious individual in anyway. It should be noted that even though the authors are certainly NOT mocking the bible or religion in any way, shape or form, we ALL know that there will STILL be those few people who will raise a stink by saying the exact opposite! Lets just say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book so much that I'm now reading it AGAIN for a second time around!! Everyone who ever grew up and was made to go to Church on Sundays, attend Catholic schools, read bible passages in religion classes, etc. should definitely read God Is Disappointed In You...you'll gain an entirely new insight and appreciation into what those bible lessons were REALLY trying to teach us!

Laughed my ass off
The sheer amount of funny drops and witty references are enough to keep me coming back time and again! Irreverent humor always gets me in the sweet spot while in my transitioning phase away from religion

The truth said in today's real language
It was a great reminder who / how much power God holds. God is both an instant dystroyer & a perfect Condition lover.

Not recommended!!
I thought this would be an interesting rendition of the Bible. There were some funny parts/paraphrases that I found amusing. However, there are a number of inaccuracies (which is ironic as the author wrote this book to ‘explain’ the Bible) which makes me think that the author did not truly read, let alone study, the Bible. Finally, this book is beyond crude and offensive to anyone who believes the Bible is God’s word.
