Sobre este producto
- One year after his sudden and utterly out-of-the-blue conversion to Christianity (which he describes in the riveting afterword of this book), John Shore reportedly found himself overwhelmed by the desire to write something that Christians could give to non-Christians by way of proving that just because one is Christian doesn’t automatically mean that one is irrational. The result is the delightfully profound “‘Penguins, Pain and the Whole Shebang: Why I Do the Things I Do,’ by God (as told to John Shore),” in which God (who, it turns out, is excruciatingly funny: who knew?) directly answers the dozen objections to Christianity most typically raised by non-Christians. The book’s opening dialogue between God and the archangel Michael on the eve before God introduces Adam onto planet earth is worth the price alone. There is no finer, accessible, or creative Christian apologetic. This is the book for which Mr. Shore is most likely to be remembered. Praise for "Penguins": Winner of the 2006 San Diego Book Award for Best Religion/Spirituality book. "John Shore is a remarkably gifted writer who knows exactly what he is doing." -- Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of "The Deep End of the Ocean," the inaugural novel of Oprah's Book Club. “Shore is a madman and a genius, and this book is so happily wrought I don’t know what to say about it–except that this is the book many, many folks have been waiting for. It’s a genuine triumph, a killer combo of astronomical wit and wisdom.”— Eric Metaxas, author of bestsellers "Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery," and "Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy," the Christian Booksellers Association 2011 Book of the Year. “Do yourself a favor and read this book. You will be both entertained and inspired.” — Roger McClellan, The Progressive Christian Alliance Excellent! This is one funny book, in an era when religion isn’t funny–but should be, if it’s serious.”— Richard Louv, author of international bestsellers "Last Child in the Woods," and "The Nature Principle." "Brilliant, quirky, perverse, exciting, and quintessentially Californian: John Shore's unique style is a delight to read--a literary feast!"—Michael Flachmann, 1995 Carnegie Foundation United States Professor of the Year; author of "Beware the Cat: The First English Novel" (Huntington Library Press) “I thoroughly enjoyed this very funny book: its style, its tone, its construction — everything about it. 'Penguins' is a winner.” — Richard Lederer, author of the bestselling Anguished English series. "Why is Penguins such a hit with Lutherans? Well, I think it’s because an awful lot of Lutherans (though not all, by any means!) are still taken with Luther’s own 'in your face' attitude toward the basics of both faith and no faith. (And he was in his own face about that, too.) Shore’s style resonates with those Lutheran pastors who deal with huge numbers of people with minds just like his. That’s why they're making classes and discussion groups out of Penguins. Good job, John! God bless you, and keep it coming. We need both the C.S. Lewises and the John Shores."--- Rev. Jack E. Lindquist, Canon for Biblical Studies, St. Paul’s Cathedral, San Diego; Professor, Religious Studies, University of San Diego
