Given the Bible's profound influence on our world, everyone should read it. Christians, heathens, and Baptists. But it's a big, intimidating book, so no one does. . . . Enter The Smile Bible-an edgy, innovative, and fully inspired way to encounter Scripture through humor. Following a simple verse-by-verse format, Tatum presents a series of amusing one-liners blending comedy and creative analysis. Think of it as your favorite comedian turns theology professor. So maybe you've never read the Bible because you thought it was too long, too boring, or you couldn't find one on Amazon. Or maybe you've read it 47 times. Either way, this unconventional project makes the Bible not only fun and accessible, but also thought-provoking and challenging. The Good Book hasn't been this good since its original publication by King James.

In this second volume of a twelve-volume series, Tatum provides the biblical text of Genesis and Exodus. Then after each verse offers a quirky comment to prompt laughter and learning. Drawing on the humor within the Bible itself, much of which has been previously overlooked, The Smile Bible is reverently irreverent. So if you're a pastor or teacher, now you have a go-to resource for a witty insight or clever quip to jazz up your next sermon or lesson. And if you're a normal person, you now have no excuse not to read the Word. Unless you can't read English, in which case you'll have to wait for the Chinese translation.
