Product Description
by Lawrence Millman (Author)
Drinks With God is what you might get if you blended the wit of George Carlin, the satire of Jonathan Swift, and the quirky imagination of Kurt Vonnegut. In this irreverent and humorous narrative, the Supreme Being himself confesses to being a celestial klutz, making cosmic blunders from the dawn of time to the present day. From accidentally creating an upright squirrel in a jockstrap in his attempt to make the first human, to sending a swarm of hummingbirds instead of locusts to plague the Egyptians, this God is far from the omnipotent figure we know from the Bible.
Within the pages of Drinks With God, the reader is treated to an unconventional take on familiar biblical figures. From his 'weirdo' son Jesus, the amorous Holy Ghost, and the entrepreneurial Noah, to the not-so-virginal Virgin Mary, a sassy Judas Iscariot, and a chef Satan who has a flair for spicy cuisine - these characters are reimagined in a way you've never seen before. And where does God divulge these surprising insights? Not in a heavenly realm, but in the more earthly locales of New York City's bars, coffee houses, and parks, revealing a deity who enjoys a good drink.
Reading Drinks With God might not sway your religious beliefs, but it's guaranteed to leave you in stitches. Prepare for a hilarious, blasphemous, and utterly unique exploration of divinity like no other.
"Drinks With God has reopened my eyes to the truth that humor, maybe even blasphemous humor, is the only way to make sense of this distracted, click-happy, self-infatuated world."
- Cornelius Walters, author of Fairy Snow.
"OMG! Millman's latest book is divine - a heaven-sent blessing for atheists, unbelievers, heretics, and anyone who still has a fully-functioning funny bone."
- Gary Allen, author of Galloping Gourmand.
"A round of hilarious irreverence from a unique writer!"
- Jim Christy, author of The Rough Road to the North and Scalawags.
