Word on the Street: (formerly published as the Street Bible)

Rob Lacey's "dangerously real" retelling of Scripture vividly demonstrates that the Bible is packed full of stories/poems/images that resonate with the big issues of today. This fresh paraphrase with running commentary brings the text alive: Bible stories are retold as mini-blockbusters; psalms as song lyrics; epistles as emails; Revelation as a virtual reality. Out with stale religious terms, here's a "Bible" that talks today's language - gritty, earthy, witty. Enough of starting at Genesis with good intentions but getting lost in Leviticus. Lacey succeeds in revitalizing a classic work by focusing on the big picture: fast-forwards through the "slow-moving" bits with pace, passion and energy to make the Bible a page-turner again.

What's more, Lacey's award-winning tour de force was created during a remarkable personal journey through terminal cancer: the stuff the Bible stories are made of. This life-experience injects Lacey's take on Scripture with authenticity and authority - resonating with Bible characters who also wrestled with the big questions. Purist alert; This is not The Bible (capital B)...but it might just get you reaching for one.

god provides - sian hall student from farnbough

This book has helped me in my faith. It has really made me and God close at times, I didn't ever think I could be close to him. Thanx so much Rob for sorting it out, yeah God bless x

5.0 / 5 stars

Sensational - Lowri from Buckinghamshire

First time I have enjoyed reading the bible! Written in a funny (yes really!)relevant way. It does skip through and summarise some (less read and used)sections. Invigorating and I imagine it would be good for teenagers as well.
