The Rational Gospel

Bob King is the million selling composer of humorous songs like 'Sandwiches Are Beautiful' and 'Brother For Sale'. Newer songs include 'My Teacher Turned Into A Fish', 'Snow Shoveling Man' and 'My Pencil's Trying to Kill Me'. Most of the essays in this book are of a serious nature and have many religious references. Of the serious essays in this last book, most essays here are centered around Christianity. Mr. King is a disciple of that religion when it is presented in its most rational, spiritual and life-giving way and that is the way that he writes too. Along with essays about The Christian gospel, and theology in general, there are other essays that use humor, song lyrics, and political satire. The 33 essays in this book are very insightful and thought provoking. In short, Bob fully believes that when the Atonement of Jesus Christ is presented in a rational way and loving way, then it is the most important message that has ever been given to us human beings in all of the Earth's history. (John 3: 16) He says that his main personal goal is to do the will of our Heavenly Father. His next personal goal is to try to live a good life and a simple life, and to share that goodness and simplicity with others, so that, when his soul is at rest, that he will, by the grace of God, abide in a place of much beauty, where virtues like love and truth, justice and mercy, wisdom and faith, righteous patience and good health, etc. will abide.
