Product Description
From the hilariously mad-as-hell Daily Show regular and New York Timesbestselling author comes a ferociously funny exploration of religion and faith.
What do we believe? And in Gods name why?
Lewis Black has the answers. Or at least his answers. He survived Hebrew school and a bar mitzvah (barely), was a sixties college student who saw the parallels between religious rapture and drug-induced visions (even if none of his friends did), explored the self-actualization movement of the seventies (and the self-indulgence it engendered), and turned a cynical eye toward politicians who don the cloak of religious rectitude to cover up their own hypocrisy.
What he learned about the inconsistencies and peculiarities of religion infuriated Black, and in Me of Little Faith they get his full comic attention. In a series of comedic inquiries, Black explores how the rules and constraints of religion have affected his life and the lives of us all. Hilarious experiences with rabbis, Mormons, gurus, psychics, and even the joy of a perfect round of golf give Black the chance to expound upon what we believe and whyin the language of a shock jock and with the heart of an iconoclast.

 hysterical!!! September 30, 2008
Totally hysterical. I love it.
I'd marry Lewis Black if I could meet him.
I'd live an extra 20 years just from the benefits of his humor.

Lewis Black has a self described "potty mouth" and he uses it in this audio book. I'm not offended by the religious humor - that is what I expected but I think I would have enjoyed the reading more if someone else had performed it or if he had skipped the worst of the profanity. I've not heard anything by him before so I didn't know what to expect except when I'd seen on Larry King. I must say that I laughed a lot at his description of many TV Evangelists! And he did have one religion he liked - you have to listen to find out which one.

Me of Little Faith
I was disapointed. Louis Black is alot more funny in person than in writing. He should stick to what he knows best

sub-par September 2, 2008
This just wasn't a very good book. I hope that whoever ghost wrote it didn't get paid very much. Mr. Black can be a stunningly funny comic and the material was just begging to be nailed but this attempt was sadly off. It was neither irreverent enough to be funny nor well thought out enough to be interesting. It really felt like a series of twenty second bits that he tried out in the shower over successive days and found to be too lame for his show. There were a few guffaws but for the most part i had to fight my way through the drivel to gratefully reach the end and realize that i had just invested 90 minutes of my life in what Mr. Black would call a pile of f*%&*in crap...on plain dry toast.
Me of Little Faith- Lewis Black August 31, 2008
Lewis Black ,his intelligence and humor make a serious subject laughable. If you've seen him on TV or in concert, you can see him speaking his "wisdom" and making his frustrating faces. A winner!!
