The only small bone to pick is that they use some (two)episodes for viewing that are unavailable via tape or DVD and this requires you to tape it off of TV when it airs, if you know when that is. Also some of the videos are out of print, so E-bay was a big help.

But the response to the course has been tremendous. People are really amazed that a "wicked, evil" cartoon can be so enlightening! I would recommend this for any church considering it.

Excellent Book!  Jul 16, 2003
By Brian Wallace
We started using the Gospel According to the Simpsons with our High School youth group and the response has been awesome. The episodes and questions provide an excellent way to engage the kids in discussions. I highly recommend using this series - although I also recommend sending home a letter to parents explaining what you're doing with the series.

Leader's Guide doesn't match with contents of the book  Mar 26, 2011
By Paula Beaty
If you are looking for a leader's guide to match with "The Gospel According to the Simpsons, Bigger and Possibly Even Better," then don't get this one; get the older one. This leader's guide doesn't review any of the episodes covered in the book; it discusses completely different material. This leader's guide may be great on its own, but it doesn't match with the book which is very disappointing to me.

good discussion starter  Nov 09, 2006
By Chad Huntley "youth minister"
This is a great discussion starter in a small group or youth group setting. A great way to present to talk about God, the Bible, Heaven and Hell, etc...

amusing look at contemporary theology  Oct 16, 2002
By John Day "commielefty"
this companion volume is a helpful addition to the original book. The videos are difficult to find but worth the effort.
