His unique cadence and elaborate descriptions vividly animates every aspect of his writing. Whether offended or captivated, whoever reads this book will not soon forget it.

Sounds interesting. I'll add it to the list.

Just had a look on Amazon - it's available at a reasonable price and sounds interesting - no reviews though.

 

[Zolipara]

Selfpublished book with only 5-star reviews in amazon. The warning bells should be ringing.

Get Bible Stories for Adults by James Morrow instead.

Not in this case. Read the book and then see if it warrants the reviews.
If you're unsure, you can preview the book on BookHuntersBlog.com under Book Exerpts.

Are you the author? or his brother-in-law?

 

[mmenzel]

Neither. I am a book reviewer and co-administrator for the website and blog. I am helping to promote what I think is an original take on an old story. If you are not interested then disregard the posts.

And Mel Gibson could film it. With added violence.

Here's a thing – imagine Bible stories rewritten by famous authors – well, that'd be most of the Old Testament by Stephen King.

If anyone genuinely fancies a fun read based on the Bible, Gore Vidal's Live From Golgotha is wickedly amusing.

I read the excerpts in amazon and it was just a lot of diabolic phalluses that i'm sure was meant to be "shocking".

This is the closest film equivalent and I don't recommend it.
