AWKWARD MOMENTS (NOT FOUND IN YOUR AVERAGE) CHILDREN'S BIBLE.... ''The goal of the project,'' says author Horus Gilgamesh, ''is to challenge readers from all walks of life to gain a better understanding of the content of the Bible and it's context in modern day culture. The fact that our fans report shooting milk out their noses from laughter is just an added bonus.'' * +

Awkward Moments doesnt pull any punches as the book explores some of the most confusing and at times gruesome stories from the Bible. The 80 page book begins with an insightful foreword from author David G. McAfee. Then the real fun begins with thirty-two whimsical full spread illustrations painted by the accomplished artist, Agnes Tickheathen. Starting with the Old Testaments depictions of foreskins, genetics research, r*pe, and unicorns, the book moves on to the New Testament to uncover * +

''The funny thing is the book isnt actually a parody or satire at all,'' stresses the author. ''We use word-for-word passages directly out of the Bible. Sure, we get a lot of hate mail. Many Christians dont like the idea of Jesus telling his disciples to hate everyone. But those are His words - not ours. * +

The book toes a fine line between tackling some of the toughest topics in the Bible while not being flippant or disrespectful toward Christians. Horus adds, We dont want to alienate anybody. After many years in full time ministry, I am fully aware that some Christians will be angered by some of the ideas we share. On the other hand, we didnt write the Bible we just illustrate the parts that many people would like to forget.'' * +

Why would Jesus become angry with a suffering leper? Why would Jesus encourage the killing of his enemies? Why would God try to kill Moses? Why would God send bears to tear 42 boys to pieces? Why is Jesus so explicit about the old law remaining in full effect? Why does Jesus demand that his disciples eat his flesh and drink his blood - literally? Awkward Moments addresses all of these questions in a unique and accessible way * +

''We arent trying to offend anybody, we just want people to really think about the most important book in the history of world - a book many have never read,'' says Gilgamesh. ''A recent Pew survey shows an overwhelming lack of Biblical knowledge among Christians in the US, with 55 unable to even name the four Gospels. And, these are the very foundation of Christianity!'' * +
