The Story of God

A Biblical Comedy about Love (and Hate)

De: Chris Matheson

Narrado por: Chris Matheson

The Bible offers some clues to God's personality - he's alternately been called vindictive and just, bloodthirsty and caring, all-powerful and impotent, capricious and foresighted, and loving and hateful. But no one has ever fully explored why God might be such a figure of contrasts. Nor has anyone ever satisfactorily explained what guides his relationship not just with angels, the devil, and his son, but also with all of creation. Might he be completely misunderstood, a mystery even to himself? Might his behavior and actions toward humankind tell us much more about him than it does about us? Enter the mind of the creator of the universe, travel with him through the heavenly highs and hellish lows of his story, from Genesis to Revelation, to better understand his burdensome journey: being God isn't easy. After hearing his story - at times troubling and tragic but always hilarious in its absurdity and divine in its comedy - you'll never look at a miracle or catastrophe - or at our place in the universe, or God's - the same way again.

Should be on Broadway

This is a hilarious and devastatingly poignant work. I would love to see a version of it on Broadway...maybe a one man show?

Entertaining, made me laugh out loud!

Would you listen to The Story of God again? Why?

Yes, it was very funny how the author interpreted the biblical stories and characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Have to say God was my favourite. He was so self absorbed, an interesting comparison to the biblical stories.

Have you listened to any of Chris Matheson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I havent but he nailed this performance. I have listened to other books narrated by the authors and haven't found that it has always worked. The author may know their material, because they wrote it, but not all can perform it with such success.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Laugh!

Fantastic

loved this. Wonderfully narrated by the author. It had me burst out laughing several times.

Fun story

I really enjoyed this book (from creation to end-of-days). The author/reader does a great job with the content. Definitely a 4.95 out of 5 star book. Just wish it was a little longer.

Great Fun!

Well done! Yes, it's a parody and it's funny, but by the end I really kinda felt sorry for our hero.

The funniest way to read the bible.

Ever want to read the bible, but not be bored to death at the same time? Here you go!
