Just finished “god is disappointed in you” by Mark Russell which was very good and am now about 1/3 through “dark matter” by Blake Crouch which I’m enjoying a lot so far.

That is an interesting book by the description of it. As someone completely devoid of religion, I still find that an intriguing concept to just summarize the entire bible. Do you know if it is new/old testament? Pre/post Constantine?

It’s basically a synopsis of the 66 books/letters that make up the Old and New Testaments, each given a few pages or even just a few paragraphs. I’m not religious myself but I would only recommend it to a person of faith with a sense of humour; parts were pretty blasphemous but very funny.
