Shocked by the Bible sets the record straight with well-researched, controversial, myth-breaking assertions about what the Bible really does-and doesn't-say. Myths and misconceptions about the Bible's content abound, and churchgoing Christians are often as confused as everyone else. Fed up with this lack of public knowledge, author Joe Kovacs has compiled some of the most crucial information for correcting people's faulty education on what the Bible really says. If readers have ever wondered about God, the Bible, or the meaning of life, and are just not satisfied with the answers they've received-or if they want to learn what the Bible really says on troubling questions-Shocked by the Bible is an essential resource for helping both Christians and non-Christians alike. Kovacs says, "If people actually knew what is in their Bible-the nonstop sex and violence, the hilarious comedy, and the astounding facts their pastors never told them-they'd rush to crack it open and get the surprise of their lives." Among the little-known facts Kovacs explores are: - Jesus said NO ONE has gone to heaven except Himself
- The Bible never says Jesus died on a Friday or rose from the grave Sunday morning
- "Christmas" is not mentioned in the Bible
- "Easter" has vanished from the Bible
- God wanted to kill Moses
- "God the Father" is never mentioned in the Old Testament
- There weren't just two of every kind of animal aboard Noah's Ark
- The worst case of hemorrhoids in history is recorded in the Bible
- Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were not Jews
- Jesus made personal appearances on Earth in the Old Testament
- The Bible tells you not to eat your dog or cat for dinner
- God ordered many of His own people to get divorced
- Elijah did not cheat death by riding a chariot to heaven
- And many more
