Description for The Word on the Street
Paperback. A fresh, urban paraphrase of the Bible for our times - Experience the Bible as performance art- Straight from the streets of the UK- For those who've never read the Bible, and for those who've read it "too much" Num Pages: 496 pages. BIC Classification: HRCG. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 202 x 133 x 32. Weight in Grams: 384.
Rob Lacey's "dangerously real" retelling of Scripture vividly demonstrates that the Bible is packed full of stories/poems/images that resonate with the big issues of today.

Lacey succeeds in revitalizing a classic work by focusing on the big picture: fast-forwards through the "slow-moving" bits ... Read more

Reviews for The Word on the Street
"Rob helped me discover angry and sad voices in passages of the Bible that had left me indifferent, and he made me laugh at other passages so familiar that I had never seen the healthy irreverence, humor and irony they expressed."
