Drinks with God: An Afternoon with Author and Explorer Lawrence Millman

Prepare for a hilarious, blasphemous, and utterly unique exploration of divinity like no other. Within the pages of Drinks with God the reader is treated to an unconventional take on familiar biblical figures. Reading it might not sway your religious beliefs, but it’s guaranteed to leave you in stitches. Join us for a raucous afternoon with Lawrence Millman and this new book.

Drinks with God is what you might get if you blended the wit of George Carlin, the satire of Jonathan Swift, and the quirky imagination of Kurt Vonnegut. In this irreverent and humorous narrative, the Supreme Being himself confesses to being a celestial klutz, making cosmic blunders from the dawn of time to the present day. From accidentally creating an upright squirrel in a jockstrap in his attempt to make the first human, to sending a swarm of hummingbirds instead of locusts to plague the Egyptians, this God is far from the omnipotent figure we know from the Bible.
