The Trouble with God

A Divine Comedy About Judgment (and Misjudgment)

De: Chris Matheson

Narrado por: Chris Matheson

In this riotous, globetrotting sequel to The Story of God, the universe’s premier antihero, God, returns, as lonely, misguided, angry, and troubled as ever. Regretting many of the decisions he made in his debut book, and wrestling with his continued ambivalence to both his son(s) Jesus and his frenemy Satan, God decides to set things right with creation - again. But this time, he asks, why stick around the dusty Land of Israel or a decaying heaven when there’s a much bigger world to explore - and countless others out there just waiting to love and praise him? And why work with the same tired old prophets, when there are much better candidates for the job?

Journeying from the sands of Arabia to the hills of Utah to the stars of Southern California, God works to set his message - and record - straight. But with each new book he commissions, the same old questions, demons, and troubles remain. Forever haunted, he decides to do away with creation once and for all...or wait, maybe just apologize?

Returning to where it all began, God makes one final judgment, with the fate of the universe - and himself - hanging in the balance.

A fascinating look at religion through self reflection of the creator

Excellent work! If we are made in god’s image and experience life the same way god does leads to the same doubts, regrets, and missed opportunities. The narrative presents the protagonist’s achievements viewed through the foundational documents of the various Abrahamic religions while providing criticisms, in the form of doubt. The comic timing of the author reading his own work was outstanding!

Brilliant!

I loved the first one and I loved this one as well. Chris Matheson is a genius.

The best bedtime story since the original.

Since I purchased this audio book, most nights I snuggle under the covers while I blissfully listen to the soothing and comforting narrative. On other nights, I enjoy the prequel. I am 58 years old and a lifelong atheist, but even young Christians, that have a sense of humor, will love these books. I actually never watched Bill and Ted's excellent adventure, But I plan to soon. Matheson is simply brilliant, and as insightful as he is incisive.

awesome follow up

great addition to the previous book, adding the more modern reimaginations of the whole God myth.

Disappointed

Really enjoyed “God is disappointed in you”, which I have listened to several times and still enjoy listening to periodically. However, this book fell well short of my expectations.
