From the hilariously mad-as-hell Daily Show regular and New York Times?bestselling author comes a ferociously funny exploration of religion and faith.

What do we believe? And in God?s name why?

Lewis Black has the answers. Or at least his answers. He survived Hebrew school and a bar mitzvah (barely), was a sixties college student who saw the parallels between religious rapture and drug-induced visions (even if none of his friends did), explored the self-actualization movement of the seventies (and the self-indulgence it engendered), and turned a cynical eye toward politicians who don the cloak of religious rectitude to cover up their own hypocrisy.

What he learned about the inconsistencies and peculiarities of religion infuriated Black, and in Me of Little Faith they get his full comic attention. In a series of comedic inquiries, Black explores how the rules and constraints of religion have affected his life and the lives of us all. Hilarious experiences with rabbis, Mormons, gurus, psychics, and even the joy of a perfect round of golf give Black the chance to expound upon what we believe and why?in the language of a shock jock and with the heart of an iconoclast.

Mesmerizing marvel

While I'm normally a person who can ramble on almost on cue, I find myself almost speechless about this book. I can not emphasize enough how much this book is a must read, it's truly a unique combination of humour intertwined with a wisdom that's only Lewis Black seems to have. And for all of this he still doesn't take himself too seriously making this a book you won't be able to put down.

All that being said, I would advise that if you are easily offended in the context of your faith and spirituality you should avoid this book; however if you aren't, enjoy the ride.

Self Indulgent Insignificant Palaver

Lewis Black is a great comedian and I've enjoyed his other books. This book, however, is a disjointed, meaningless compilation of random thoughts which are neither funny nor insightful.

Hilarious

In my opinion, Lewis Black is the funniest comedian on the planet, and this book confirms it. The real world situations that he describes hit home numerous times. It is a no-holds-barred review of religion in today's world. Buy it!!

Not Quite Irreverent

This book was wonderful. I laughed out loud a number of times. I expected it to be more irreverent, but was surprised to find it an idealogical exploration of a number of religions and philosophies while being extremely funny at the same time. I've sent it to a number of people, particularly my friends in the clergy who have good senses of humor.

The whole family enjoyed this book on CD

Can't beat Lewis Black for great humor - We own all his comedy CD's and this book was a great addition.
