THE ROAD TRIP
The Bloke’s Bible
By Dave Hopwood. Authentic Media. 212 pages. £7.99
ISBN 978-1-85078-753-2

The forward to this book says, ‘if you like adventure, a good story and seek a “real” godly manliness, this book will help’. Sadly, this is not true. None of it!

Never have I found a book so disappointing. Each chapter in this imaginary road trip begins with a retelling of a passage of the Bible. On almost every occasion the author’s imagination completely obscures the real point of the text. Sometimes it is just fanciful. Sometimes it is crude. Sometimes it is blasphemous!
