I Didn't Know That or What the..?

About the Book

In a departure from his first book the author turns to dry humor in an irreverent exploration of God’s relationship with Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Sarah and other notable and not so notable characters in the first book of the bible. In the late nineties the author wrote a weekly newspaper article entitled “Is This a Bible Story?” in the hoping the stories might nudge readers to open a bible on a spiritual quest. “I Didn’t Know That! Or; What The..?” has expanded on the earlier accounts explored in the weekly news articles.
