Catholic schoolgirl (can readily identify any plaid ever used in a parochial uniform), '70s Playboy Bunny (another uniform—not plaid—blue satin), and baby boomer, Barbara Camp insists that "God writes the best fiction, known as non-fiction." Your Soul: Fixer-Upper or Tear-Down Down? (The Bible Blueprint for Renovation and Rebuild!) features Camp's short stories that translate bulletproof, Biblical wisdom (both the Old and New Testaments) into everyman, everyday, modern metaphors.
Camp's self-described, personal, demolition derby is punctuated by big picture themes: cell phones (Tower of Babel); designer food (The Last Supper); feminism (Samson & Delilah); the Hudson River air strip (Jesus Walks on Water); DNA (The Creation of Adam); Christ's promise of provision (The Fish & Loaves of Bread); and many more.
Some have had a scary "religious" childhood and now want nothing to do with God. So, would you dismiss the entire practice of medicine even though the field is partially populated with amateurs prescribing more pills than the Valley of the Dolls? Lifelong conclusions formed at age fourteen are often irrelevant in adulthood. Just look at your hair.
In a world of epic distraction, Camp invites you to meet the ultimate influencer, God. Throughout history, billions of folks have followed Him long before social media, or any media, reared its all-consuming, highly-addictive head. Let neither the herd mentality nor a cancel-happy culture hit "delete" on the ultimate VIP. If God is love, Got God?
