Genesis 22-23: Kill The Kid! - The New Old Testament #9

Jack Geurts

Summary

What happens when God asks Abraham to sacrifice his only son?
A cave burial, a brawl in a biker bar and a zombie plague is unleashed on the Middle East.
All this, and more, in Genesis 22-23: Kill the Kid.
Welcome to The New Old Testament, the book that will have you asking the question: "If we're as messed-up as we are, and God made us in his image, then what the hell must he be like?"
The New Old Testament is a re-imagining of the Bible as told to you by the drunk guy at the party. A drunk guy who seriously knows his scripture.
It's part adaptation, part commentary and 100% not for people who take the Bible too seriously. It's got a lot of violence, a lot of swearing and a lot of sex, so be warned.
Whether or not you believe it actually happened, the Bible is a fascinating story, full of great characters, epic battles and incredible journeys. There's love, there's betrayal, there's revenge. All that without any of the "sayeth's" or "unto's" or "thou's" that might have scared you off last time.
You're already familiar with its most famous characters - Noah, Moses, David and Goliath. Why not get to know Joshua, Elijah and Judah Maccabee? Seriously, some of the most badass heroes in literature can be found right there in the Old Testament.
So if you've always had a passing interest in the Bible but found the language to be way too dense, The New Old Testament has gone ahead and stripped out anything nonessential, keeping only the best, filthiest, most brutally horrifying parts. Especially the parts they leave out in church.
If the very thought of that made you tense up, then this probably isn't the book for you. If, on the other hand, you found yourself smiling, or at the very least, raising an eyebrow, you just might be in the right place.
For a fast-flowing, faithfully unfaithful, reverently irreverent, humbly boastful re-imagining of the Bible, download your copy today!

"New York, Paris, London—every grand metropolis—has its own irresistible attraction but Rome so swirls with stories of saints and sinners…lovers and fighters, that she compels you towards her, like gravity…. No one leaves her unaltered. Part of you always loves her. This is the place where passions are aroused, senses inflamed, and lovers fall into each other's arms.

Mark Lamprell's One Summer Day in Rome is an enchanting audiobook about three couples drawn irresistibly to Rome, narrated by the city itself.  
Alice, an art student in New York City, has come to Rome in search of adventure and inspiration before settling down with her steady, safe fiancé.

Connie and Lizzie are women of a certain age—"Sometimes I look at my laughter lines and wonder what on earth could have been that funny"—who come from London to scatter the ashes of their beloved husband and brother. Both women are seemingly done with romance, but Rome has other ideas.
