Semifinalist for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award and previous #1 Bestseller in Humorous Literary Fiction "A rich and soulful novel...steeped in wanderlust and whimsy." --Publishers Weekly "The Dirty Parts of the Bible might just be the long-awaited Great American Novel." --New York Times bestselling author John M. Perkins The Dirty Parts of the Bible is a humorous adventure across America during the Great Depression--a rollicking tale of love and liquor, preachers and prostitutes, trains and treasure, sure to appeal to fans of O Brother Where Art Thou?, Water for Elephants, Mark Twain, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Cash. * * * * It's 1936, and Tobias Henry is stuck in the frozen hinterlands of Michigan. Tobias is obsessed with two things: God and girls. Mostly girls, of course. But being a Baptist preacher's son, he can't escape God. When his father is blinded in a bizarre accident (involving hard cider and bird droppings), Tobias must ride the rails to Texas to recover a long-hidden stash of money. Along the way, he's initiated into the hobo brotherhood by Craw, a ribald vagabond-philosopher. Obstacles arise in the form of a saucy prostitute, a flaming boxcar, and a man-eating catfish. But when he meets Sarah, a tough farm girl under a dark curse, he finds out that the greatest challenge of all is love. The Kindle e-book is FREE with purchase of the paperback, through Amazon Matchbook.
