You probably know a lot of Bible stories: Joseph and his coat, David and Goliath, Daniel and the lions, Jesus walking on water. These get mentioned everywhere from popular literature to your local church. But there are other stories in the Bible that preachers and Sunday school teachers tend to skip over because . . . well . . . because they seem crazy—the kind of stories that make us change the subject quickly when children bring them up, because we don’t know why they’re in the Bible or what they could possibly mean. You want examples? There's the time a prophet calls a couple of bears out of the woods to maul a gang of rowdy teenagers. There's also a story about a woman who dresses provocatively and tricks her father-in-law into getting her pregnant. And their son ends up in the genealogy of Jesus! What are we to make of these strange, sometimes cryptic, sometimes even off-color stories? What are they doing in the Bible? In Crazy Stories, Sane God popular author and teacher John Alan Turner takes us on a wild and unpredictable ride through the weirdest and least familiar stories in the Bible. Through it all, Turner shows us how even these odd episodes reveal important things about the character and nature of God and, consequently, what they mean for us today.

THE SEEKER IN FOREVER is a political comedy about the insanity of our modern world. This is a mindbender, set in a dreamscape of America. -- The story is about a young man and woman who emerge from absolute nowhere to become something akin to super heroes, when they take on the American establishment and the whole American world order. . . . The two young people bring beauty, truth, love, and other related sins. The American establishment must destroy them, before they start a love craze.

Dance Lessons tells two inescapably intertwined stories. In the first, Catherine Wallace recounts her ordinary, often hilarious struggles to stay sane as she learns how to balance the demands of her career with the needs of her children. In the second, she adeptly deconstructs all of her own encounters with a witty and persistent God who thinks the real problem here is not career-vs-kids but call. Vocation. The stand-off starts to crumble one night when a rainbow declares truce during dinner, and she begins to discover that not even deconstruction can separate us from the love of God. Here indeed is a God whose reality, matters, even for the crazy-making conflicts of modern family life.
