About this listen

 ***NOW A MAJOR BROADWAY SHOW STARRING JIM PARSONS (THE BIG BANG THEORY) AND DIRECTED BY JOE MANTELLO (WICKED)***

Over the course of his long and distinguished career, God has literally seen it all. And not just seen. In fact, the multitalented deity has played a pivotal role in many major events, including the Creation of the universe, the entirety of world history, and the successful transitioning of American Idol into the post–Simon Cowell era. Sometimes preachy, sometimes holier-than-thou, but always lively, The Last Testament is the ultimate celebrity autobiography. Entertainment & Celebrities Spirituality Funny

If you want a light-hearted, intelligent and funny review of the the last testament and you're not easily offended then listen to this.



I bought this book for my holiday to Israel and it contains many interpretations of the bible. if you like the works of Monty Python then you will like this.



Adam and Steve get a mention, and the book is narrated by god. So what you get is the real thing! Enjoy.

Holy funny!

This book starts from a highly amusing premise: that God is complicated and for some reason wants to lay out his own case although, since he is the Lord thy God, question him at you peril!
Mirthing, smiting and all kinds of revelations ensue but, just one word of warning: if you have a strong religious conviction this probably isn't for you.
If, on the other hand you are having doubts about faith it may well crystallise some of those concerns through the vehicle of comedy.

good fun for the unreligiously engaged

What did you like best about this story?

It seems to be a fantastic balance between humour, theology and satire without being heavy handed.

Have you listened to any of David Javerbaum’s other performances? How does this one compare?

No

Any additional comments?

Handelling of the deeper subjects varies from well thought to silly. The bible references seem well researched. The humour is very american. Definitely going to upset a few people but what would you expect?

a balance between dark humour and darker satire

What would have made The Last Testament better?

I read a similar book to this called The Creation Memos years ago, and enjoyed it. This one isn't remotely in the same league. The story wasn't well structured and the presentation really didn't help.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The voice just wasn't godlike.

Sorry, this wasn't enjoyable!
