Idiotic Things People Did in the Bible

by Ray Comfort

"Welcome to Idiotic Things People Did in the Bible—a brutally honest, occasionally funny, and always eye-opening journey through some of the most idiotic blunders ever recorded in human history. You’d think that seeing the Red Sea split in two, or watching fire fall from heaven, or hearing the audible voice of God would cause someone to behave wisely. But no! These stories aren’t just ancient history—they’re warnings, lessons, and yes, sometimes tragic comedies that speak to our modern messes. As you’ll see, spiritual stupidity isn’t limited by era. Yet, through it all, we’re reminded that God is holy, merciful, and not to be trifled with." This book includes Questions for Reflection & Discussion

I enjoyed this book by Ray Comfort, as with all of his books and writings they are, as with this one eye catchy, and grab your attention. This too as with his other stuff is funny, he has such great sense of humor. But more importantly because of the subject matter, he is solid and true to the The Word of God. His insight and explanation of Scripture is spot on clear and trustworthy, easy to understand and give a good understanding to the reader. Always with some smiles to go along with it, and Ray’s love and passion for others who need to hear it. I definitely recommend this book.

This is a great little read that covers some of the crazy moments in the Bible. They are snapshots of what occurs and what we can learn from it. After each section there are questions for reflection and further thought. This would be a great book for a newish believer to help them grasp the Bible more.
