"We've grown bored of the socially acceptable version of the Bible. That's why we need someone like Luke Harrington who is somehow able to see the Bible for what it is: a book full of gross, disgusting, scandalous incidents. By forcing us to reckon with the more unbecoming details that get left out of our children's story Bibles, Luke reclaims the Bible for adults and teenage boys everywhere." —Richard Clark, former editor for Christianity Today, former editor-in-chief of Christ and Pop Culture

"Murder-Bears, Moonshine, and Mayhem is like a comedy act and a seminary course rolled into one. I don't think I've ever read a book that had me laughing out loud and looking at the footnotes as many times as this one. Luke Harrington gives the grit and gore of the Bible its due - and masterfully shows how even these point us to grace and to the gospel." —Karen Swallow Prior, author of On Reading Well: Finding the Good Life through Great Books

"The Bible is many wonderful things, including weird. We need more weird writers writing about it. And I say that as the highest compliment because Luke writes with verve and fun and style, and there aren't many who can do that. He makes us see weirdness in a fresh way, which, as it turns out, is a beautiful way." —Brant Hansen, radio host and author of The Truth About Us, Unoffendable, and Blessed Are the Misfits
