Rating:  Summary: Funny, but possibly too irrevent Review: I wasn't sure about this book when I first picked it up. Was it going to be blasphemous about our Lord's life and works? I found the book to be a funny look at how silly, and stupid being "politically correct" is. It is somewhat irrevent about sacred things of God, but I think unless you are a extreme Christian Fundamentalist you will find the book well within the boundaries of not taking sacred things too lightly.

Rating:  Summary: Truly Funny Review: Just the sort of book to give to someone who is annoyed with all things "politically correct" (whatever that means).

Rating:  Summary: An amusing and enlightening read. Review: Most people have heard the biblical tale of the Prodigal Son, whose father welcomes him back into the fold even after he's squandered his entire inheritance. Well, get ready for Robert Martin Walker's new book, Politically Correct Parables, wherein the story becomes "The Negative Attention Getting Son." Walker deftly transforms the story of the Good Samaritan into "The Generosity Gifted Samaritan." The tale of the Pharisee and the Publican beomes "The Humility Impoverished Pharisee and the Marginalized Publican." And the tale of the lost sheep becomes "The Geographically Dislocated Sheep." By updating the parables with contemporary, politically correct language, Walker has produced a refreshing and funny sermon on going too far
Rating:  Summary: The "Mad" Methodist Minister strikes again!! Review: Parables is fun for old and young. Walker's incisive witmakes parables a quick read. I found it impossible toput down. The remake of historical parables in today'slanguage is apropos to the state of the world we live in.I heartily recommend this book to anyone looking to lighten the drudgery of daily existence
Rating:  Summary: This book is laugh-out-loud hilarious. Review: Readers of my book will not only enjoy its humor, but will come away with a greater understanding of the parables. When the parables are "politically corrected" two things happen. The first is hilarity. The second is that the original meaning of the parables becomes clear. This book is a must-read both for connoisseurs of humor and for students of the Bible. It's also a great gift book
