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.

This book has been so beneficial to so many young people. Helping the to get an overview of the Bible story and getting them excited about reading Bible stories. This is a brilliant starting point for any young Christian or non-Christian. Not a replacement for the real thing but a very valuable accompaniment!! Rob Lacey was a legend!

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.

It has excerpts from the Psalms expressed as song lyrics, but I couldn't find out which ones.
