Were there no other seasonings available? Why don't we know anything about the early years of Jesus? Did someone lose his baby book? Who reported the desert encounter between Jesus and Satan? Jesus-or Satan? And why does the Holy Spirit like to show up as a bird? As irreverent as the musical The Book of Mormon, Dr. Joe Wenke's You Got to Be Kidding  a Radical Satire of the Bible is an engaging, provocative and hilarious investigation into the bestselling book of all time. Written to cause trouble cultural arsonist Wenke, a keen observer of human gullibility, tempts readers to more closely examine the stories they think they know about the Bible. Drawing upon the same pool of incendiary and cerebral humor as Bill Maher, Jon Stewart and the late, great George Carlin, YOU GOT TO BE KIDING is a call for humor to restore our sanity and our ability to think for ourselves. Just as it was written in the Bible-or was it?","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49624220860689,"sku":"GOR007869178","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52506294288657,"sku":"CIN0985900202VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52678392021265,"sku":"NLS9780985900205","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0985900202.jpg?v=1751435865"},{"product_id":"human-agenda-book-joe-wenke-9780986337932","title":"The Human Agenda","description":"In THE HUMAN AGENDA, LGBTQI advocate Joe Wenke speaks with some of the community's leading change agents.

Ever since that fateful night when Jones called Winthrop with his audacious proposal, life has never been the same. Winthrop, an award-winning New York Times reporter who calls the Tit for Tat strip club his second home, agreed to collaborate on Jones' national Emancipation Tour. The plan is to bring Jones' passion for radical change to the people and transcend television by meeting America face to face. Now Winthrop has to survive long enough to make the tour a reality. As the reach of his stalker spreads, so does the fear that Winthrop's unconventional family is also in danger-Rita Harvey, the gentle transgender ex-priest and LGBT activist; Slow Mo, the massive vegetarian bouncer; and Donna, stripper and entrepreneurial prodigy-as well as the woman who is claiming his heart, media expert Danielle Jackson. Steeped in the seamy underbelly of New York City, The Talk Show is a fast-paced and mordantly funny thriller that examines how the forces of nihilism threaten our yearning for love, family and acceptance.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52126478795025,"sku":"NLS9780985900298","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780985900298.jpg?v=1757476563"},{"product_id":"papal-bull-book-joe-wenke-9780985900250","title":"Papal Bull","description":"Dr. Joe Wenke, disciple of such brilliant and provocative social critics as Christopher Hitchens, Bill Maher and George Carlin, has taken on the Catholic Church with PAPAL BUL: An Ex-Catholic Calls Out the Catholic Church. Wenke bares the scars of his Catholic childhood and exposes the bizarre, absurd and downright frightening skeletons lingering in the Vatican closet. Following in the same hilarious, intellectual vein as YOU GOT TO BE KIDING  A Radical Satire of the Bible, Wenke confronts the epic hypocrisy of the Catholic Church in a no-holds-barred examination of its history, practices and beliefs. Equal parts revelation, inquisition and humor, PAPAL BUL will make you rethink what you thought you knew about the Catholic Church.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52133129847057,"sku":"NLS9780985900250","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780985900250.jpg?v=1757526598"},{"product_id":"looking-for-potholes-book-joe-wenke-9780986337918","title":"Looking for Potholes","description":"Poetry by Joe Wenke.
