Description
Since Bible verses are always being taken out of context, why not make a game of it? This hilarious card game of creating your own unexpected combinations is perfect for families, friends, and small groups—ages 8 and up!
An excuse I would use to get out of going somewhere...
With 70 prompts and 165 Bible verses spread out across 200 cards, The Bible Is Funny Card Game invites players with an abundance of Bible knowledge as well as those with no prior Bible experience to match out-of-context biblical verses with prompts about everyday situations to win the funniest pairing. The verse cards in the deck feature obscure, ludicrous, or downright outrageous Bible verses pulled completely out of their original context. The prompt cards offer fun, contemporary situations into which those Bible verses can be inserted, with topics ranging from family dynamics and dating to popular culture and the workplace. Players can cast lots or go with the Noah (most pets) or Sarah (best laugh) rules to decide who will be the Theologian first, and then begin the battle to see who will earn the most "Treasures in Heaven" (points).
From the creator of The Bible Is Funny podcast and Instagram and suited for Bible enthusiasts and novices alike, this card game will ensure that you never look at an out-of-context Bible verse the same way again!

Person
Anthony Russo is the creator of The Bible Is Funny Instagram and one half of the duo Isaac Improv, which offers clean comedy content online and at Christian events across the country. A popular comedy performer, Russo grew up memorizing Scripture—partly in his pursuit to understand God's Word, but probably more so in his pursuit of badges for his Awana vest. In addition to authoring the book Curiosities and (Un)common Sense from the Bible: 60 Devotions, he is an ordained minister and the creative director and director of online ministry at Calvary Church in Clearwater, Florida. He and his wife, Rachael, live in Seminole, Florida, and have two children.
