Book Review: All You Want To Know About The Bible in Pop Culture
Katie 
This was a really fun book. It takes a lot of different aspects of pop culture – music, movies, tv, etc and relates quotes and scenes to the bible. At the end of each section there are quizzes, most are bible related and then there was one of Duck Dynasty vs Keeping Up With The Kardashians. That one didn’t have an answer key and it said if you didn’t know the answers you’ve never watched the shows. Well, I didn’t know any of the answers lol
I think my favorite chapter was the first one – that compares all the super heroes with the bible and Jesus and even a section of why some super heroes were excluded from the book.
There are also additional sections throughout the book with added information. I ended up going back to read these after each chapter because it was easier to flow with the chapter text first and then read the supplemental material rather than try to read them as they appeared and lose my train of thought on the main area of the chapter.
