What if the Bible’s most famous stories were seen from just outside the miracle?

The Bible never mentioned Barry and his broom. Or Dave and his hair removal empire. Or the architect who promised the priests of Dagon his design was collapse proof. Or Greg, who spent three dates quoting the Song of Solomon and still couldn’t take a hint.

Thus Saith the Absurd takes familiar biblical events and views them through the eyes of the ordinary bystanders who suddenly find themselves caught in extraordinary circumstances.

This is their book.

100 cartoons celebrating the unnamed, the overlooked, and the unfortunately positioned. The bystanders. The neighbors. The cleanup crews. The insurance adjusters. The stable hands who really should have asked more questions.

Thus Saith the Absurd turns the camera away from the miracle and finds the person standing slightly to the left of history.

The consequences of miracles are rarely discussed.

Until now.

Thus Saith the Absurd imagines what life might have looked like between the verses - the awkward moments, the unexpected side effects, and the wonderfully human reactions to God’s biggest miracles.

Through charming single‑panel illustrations, this book explores:

• the everyday people behind the epic storiesthe ripple effects of divine intervention
• the humour hidden in ancient life
• the relatable quirks of faith, community, and hope

Clean, wholesome, and delightfully creative, this is the perfect gift for:

• birthdays
• pastors and ministry teams
• Bible study groups
• Christmas stockings
• anyone who loves to laugh

A fresh, uplifting take on stories we thought we already knew.
