Sinopsis

Playboy Bunny Barbara Camp cordially invites you to a G.S.I.-God Seen Investigation. On the Seventh Day God Rested presents timeless Biblical truth made modern-its table of contents alone previews the infinite territory covered in this encyclopedically varied adventure.

Of 33 stories featured: Parting of the Red Sea celebrates space-age cancer treatment, Tower of Babel examines excessive cell phone usage, Samson and Delilah evaluates feminism-forty years later, Creation of Adam chronicles DNA, Daniel’s Lion’s Den mirrors Wall Street, Temptation in the Garden occupies present-day Iraq, and in Jonah, Seventh Day explores the cacophonous distraction eclipsing the most important voice of all-God’s:

"I reckon we live in the most intellectually and psychologically interesting time in history. When else did you have the luxury of listening to a Strauss waltz and reading Shakespeare or the Greek classics while revving from zero to a hundred in sixty seconds on FDA approved, mind-altering energy drinks, doing your laundry and cloning your livestock or even your pooch? There’s so much to do and we do it all."

Ultimately, you won’t need the isolation of that whale’s belly to "get it". Read this book. And fasten your seatbelt-the fingerprints are everywhere.

Reseña del editor

God: An Authorized Biography

Pilgrim, Playboy Bunny and card carrying member of the "Me Generation" Barbara Camp invites you to explore the New Old Testament in what can easily be referred to as the "right brain Bible". With a quirky blend of wit and insight she mirrors the bulletproof stories of the epic Old Testament with everyman applications to modern life-from the deeply personal to the culturally historical. God's iridescent light is refracted through a highly original prism in the process.

In an era of unprecedented distraction Camp invites you to discover that "God writes the best fiction, known as non-fiction." From Spartacus to Solzhenitsyn to Sammy Sosa-and everything in between-she's shaken and stirred a festive cocktail of narrative confetti so entertaining and distinctive in style it will offer new insights to the Bible scholar, the spiritually curious, and even the skeptic.

On the Seventh Day God Rested is both a sentimentally reverent divine portrait and an inspirational "connect the dots, think outside the Biblical box" thought-provoking journey. On this "road less traveled"-with a foreword by C.S.I. 's William Petersen-you'll discover timeless truth made modern, and that God's fingerprints have been on your map all along.
