Written in the humorous, gross style of the 2:52 line, designed to
ignite the interest of boys.Bible Freaks & Geeks--This book helps boys
to grow smarter, stronger, deeper, and cooler by showing them how
hurtful name-calling can be. In a fun, engaging format, the book
highlights biblical examples of machos, jocks, goons, wonks, slackers,
airheads, and more. Through the biblical examples of characters who some
would likely classify in these terms today, we learn what kind of people
God has used throughout history to accomplish his plans. In Bible Freaks
& Geeks we also discover that not only are people wrongfullylabeled
today by such general and unkind terms, but that even in ancient times,
humans exhibited the same traits that we see today. Readers will
learnmore about the characters in the Bible, and also how to discern
between descriptive labels and harmful stereotypes.Seriously Sick Bible
Stuff--This book gives boys the lowdown on what living in ancient Israel
was really like. In fun and engaging 2:52 style, it offers humorous,
gross facts about day-to-day life in Bible times, shattering any
illusions boys may have about how much easier things would have been if
they had lived during Jesus' day. This book exposes boys to the truth:
sleeping next to goats (and cleaning up after them in the morning!),
eating food that was spiced because it was spoiled, drinking water that
was probably unsafe, and using bathroom accommodations that made
outhouseslook good. Not to mention the tough, boring work kids had to
do! Seriously Sick Bible Stuff helps boys understand the people of
Jesus' time--making them grateful for the life God has given them today.
ED STRAUSS By his early teen years, Ed Strauss was writing several
novels at once. He had a dresser for his clothing, but Ed had different
priorities. The bottom drawer held his comic books--mostly Spider-Man,
Tarzan, and Turok. The middle drawer overflowed with his story notes,
research, and maps. The top drawer was stuffed with clothing. On a
nearby shelf was Ed's favorite reading material, an encyclopedia set he
had won on a nationwide kiddie show. Ed lives in Chilliwack, BC.
