I have had this book for over 5 years, and it's just been sitting on my shelf. I bought it at Cracker Barrel on a whim, and thought the concept was cool. I didn't realize how much I would love it. I loved learning about the stories of the bible and how many of the little sayings I use , are actually from the bible.

I didn't expect so many LOL moments, and the little tidbits of her sarcasm to make me giggle so much. I absolutely loved it !!

An easy, interesting read, even if you're well versed in the Bible.
