There Once Was a Prophet from Judah

“Jeff Carter’s cleverly conceived and brilliantly executed retelling of Scripture through the form of limericks is a delight to read and a joy to recommend.”


—Jim West, Ming Hua Theological College, Lecturer in Biblical Studies and Church History





“Mr. Carter’s an author who’s liable


To make you laugh at things in the Bible.


Comprehension’s a must


If your sides are to bust,


But you’ll also learn—that’s undeniable!”


—James McGrath, Chair in New Testament Language and Literature at Butler University in Indianapolis





“For those who need a great laugh, Jeff Carter’s limericks offer readers a lyrical romp through the Bible that ranges from the prophetic to the profane and even bits of profanity.”


—Becky Garrison, author of Jesus Died for This?
