The Bloke's Bible
Full Product Description

At last! The book that allows men to be men and have a real, manly faith. Through down-to-earth Bible retellings fused with the tale of an ordinary bloke, ‘The Bloke’s Bible’ shows men how ordinary - and absolutely just like them, Bible characters really were (and shows women how men relate to, and think about, the Bible).

The story centres on an ordinary bloke who escapes to the local pub for a few drinks and the comfort of a warm fire. He rummages around inside a tatty old Bible and finds the usual stories and the usual suspects – David, Peter, Moses, Thomas… but not in the way you’d expect from a Bible picked up in church. Here there is no piety or platitudes and no guilt laden instructions to just do better. Instead its pages are stories and stuff about being set free and allowing guys to be guys, blokes to be blokes and men to men – and still have an active, living faith. Yes, even a faith that shaves.

Dave Hopwood’s ‘The Blokes Bible’ gives you men who wrestled with God, struggled with temptation and experienced real fear, doubts, faith and courage – just like every other man. Each chapter starts with the Bible reference that relates the ordinary bloke’s story to the parallel Bible narrative. Here are the chapter titles.

Job’s Got Boils
The Man Who Would Be King
Adam’s Best Mate

This selection of familiar Bible stories retold runs parallel with the story of an ordinary guy who goes to the pub, opens a battered Bible then reads and reflects on everything you've ever wondered about. Hard-hitting, challenging and very honest, Dave Hopwood's sharp observance of human nature and divine love makes an entertaining, exciting and poignant read.

The Bloke's Bible by Dave Hopwood was published by Authentic in September 2006 and is our 2175th best seller. The ISBN for The Bloke's Bible is 9781850787129.

A Must Read Book for All Males (and females)
- Tony, Scotman living in South England
I came across the Blokes Bible by accident, but what a read. I would only put it down when I felt myself cringing, because I could relate to the material. Each chapter leads off with stories from the Bible in varying formats, but very readable. Using todays language throughout. The second part of the chapter is listening to the thoughts (honest feelings - not the sort we normally hear) of a fellow in his local Pub. It's not the cheery type pub you see on the box, but a bit like life, raw! All of the chapters are very thought provoking and most people would be able to relate to at least one chapter if not more.

- Fi - always looking for the truth!
I bought this for a present for a young man and just had to have a 'scan' of it before I gave it to him. Then I could not put it down! I will now have to buy more copies as it made me laugh, cry and connect with Jesus so well.
