Description

Does God exist? Is there a heaven? What's the point of it all? Do we even matter?

This collection of thought-provoking, humorous comic strips is a series of conversations between a squirrel, a badger, and a friendly blue ghost who may or may not be one third of the Holy Trinity. Charming, witty, and at times poignant, yet never holier-than-thou, New York Times bestselling and award-winning illustrator John Hendrix tackles some of life's greatest questions.

Whether you consider yourself faithful or a nonbeliever, these delightfully off-kilter comics deliver laughter, comfort, and philosophical musings with humble, honest spirit—and just the right dose of playful irreverence.

Publishers Weekly praises the collection as an amusing and sensitive exploration of Christian belief that avoids sentimentality, tackling profound ideas with simple yet expressive drawings and earnest handwritten text. St. Louis Public Radio commends John Hendrix for making the Holy Ghost approachable and insightful, comparing his work to Charles M. Schulz's impact on beagle characters.
