Judgment Out Of Books Bible Stories for Adults

Another outstanding book ftom this author.Amusing takes on biblical tales and other mythologies. Bound to upset the Bible Belt. Funny and well written. Imaginative as always.

I would probably give this book two-and-a-half stars, but GoodReads does not offer that option. The reason is that I found the quality of the stories to be variable. A couple of them were very good, but others sort of dragged and did not seem very substantial at all. Out of the bunch, the one about the androids believing in evolution was probably the best one. It looked at a relevant topic, had a nice take on it, and it had a touch of humor. "Daughter Earth" was poignant and moving; I think many

A wonderful collection of short stories, including:"Bible Stories for Adults, No. 17: The Deluge"--Not for the squeamish, this retelling of the Flood touches on some of Morrow's recurring themes. Why is it murder when humans kill, but not when God kills? What is the value of life? How should we live our lives? I did not find this as disgusting as when I first read it, but I'm also 10 years older."Daughter Earth"--I've written about this story before, and it was a pleasure to reread it. It is one

This book wasn't as wryly amusing as I had thought it would be, though certianly some of the stories are very clever. There is one that I particularly liked, however. Actually, there are two, I discover as I trawl through to the find one I thought "I liked that!" about.The Assemblage of Kristin has a punchy beginning and some nice surprises along the way - a very funny take (and I can't say on what (except I can say it's a possibly controversial subject), otherwise I'd spoil it).Arms and the

Interesting satirical take on Bible stories. Good for anybody who's ever asked too many questions in Sunday School or likes David Sedaris. As with most collections of short stories, some were stronger than others but definitely worth your time.
