About this listen

God Is Disappointed in You is for people who would like to read the Bible...if it would just cut to the chase. Stripped of its arcane language and interminable passages, every book of the Bible is condensed down to its core message, in no more than a few pages each.

Written by Mark Russell with cartoons by New Yorker cartoonist Shannon Wheeler, God Is Disappointed in You is a frequently hilarious, often shocking, but always accurate retelling of the Bible, including the parts selectively left out by Sunday School teachers and church sermons.

Irreverent yet faithful, this book is a must-listen for anyone who wants to see past the fog of religious agendas and cultural debates to discover what the Bible really says.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

I loved this audiobook!

I had recently downloaded the actual bible in audiobook form so I could learn more than the odd passages taught at school and over dinner by my born-again Christian mother-in-law. Several hours into that, I came across God Is Disappointed In You as a recommendation in my Audible subscription and I couldn't resist the temptation to consume the stories in a more condensed format. I'm so glad I did! I felt the author was true to the bible (what I'd managed to get through) without the guff. I didn't feel at all like he was mocking the source material, but it was still really, really funny.

Unsurprisingly, it did nothing to stop me being atheist, or to help me understand why people believe in God, but I still highly recommend it.

manages to breeze through a difficult topic with irreverence but a sincere desire to simply convey the ideas in a bloody inaccessible tome! well worth a listen. performer just a tad too american for my personal tastes, being a rather dry Brit, but otherwise superb.

lighthearted but informative, a great listen.

This doesn't attack the bible it simply lets the bible tell its own story, and show itself as flawed, inconsistent and FUNNY This reading had me laughing out loud so many times.
It's also an excellent summary - for anyone wanting a relatively quick understanding of the main stories and characters you can't go far wrong.
Stone pronunciation is a bit iffy but a good job still.
Will put a smile on your face. And a few thoughts in your head.

A very good book
