Synopsis

STILL NOT FOR KIDS! Loved by Christians and atheists alike, the Awkward Moments (Not Found In Your Average) Children’s Bible series continues with another installment of actual Bible verses combined with whimsical original illustrations - using humor to encourage people from all walks of life to really think about their Bibles, perhaps for the first time (without being told how to interpret scripture or what to think about it).

“These surprising little books have blown my mind and changed my heart.” - Karen Lassiter

“I assumed these books were just fun satire. Then I opened my Bible and realized Horus is a genius and not messing around!” - William Ross

With Biblical literacy at an all-time low, it’s no surprise that few people really know just how awkward some Bible stories really are! From the blood rituals, the dietary laws, the death penalties (for almost anything) - and of course, the never-ending foreskin fables! The goal of this series is to combine provocative illustrations with engaging commentaries to encourage readers to open their Bibles and ask some important questions about scripture - for themselves and society.

We hope you learn a few things and get infuriated by others. If you happen to get a good laugh along the way, that’s just an added bonus!

Don’t blame us - it’s in the Bible!

About this title

Review

"It might take reading books like this one to jolt some Christians to the actual reading of some of the "awkward moments" of the Bible shown. [This book] helps Christians to awaken to being able to critically think and respond to the [Bible verses] raised up." - Dan Kimball, pastor and author"NOT FOR KIDS! The illustrations are vibrant and full of life,  mimicking that of the most revered children's books - at times tricking readers to not notice the real subtext of the image and verse. As a result,  readers may miss the subtle nuance and innuendo hidden in the images at first glance. It is the commentaries that are included with each passage that will unveil the purpose of the illustrations and challenge many readers,  bringing to light many ideas and facts that may trouble the average Christian" - Broadway World
"[The book] has proved successful at garnering the attention of Christians, many of whom were initially outraged at the Awkward Bible's depiction of the Bible and Christ. But many atheists and Christians stayed on the site and ultimately began having conversations with one another." - The Christian Post
