Product of the Week

At times I fear that I won't be able to find a suitable Christian Product of the week. Sometimes it keeps me up at night and I consider giving up on this segment (which is scary because this is only the second entry). Though just when I feel like giving up all hope I'm presented with just the right thing...so if you haven't been introduced already then let me be the first to turn you on to a product that will turn your life upside down:

I'd be lying if I said I'd read the book because I haven't, but I am intrigued because of the picture on the cover. Here we have a mystical, almost Santa Clausish (minus the tummy), fairly Caucasian Moses offering up a pretty decent fruit basket on a starry night. I'm not sure if this is an accurate portrayal of Moses, but I'll agree that this Moses isn't fat and I find myself wondering, "What's his secret?".

Though I wondered if I could find out what Moses ate just by reading some Old Testament...what I found was that Moses walked in a desert for 40 years and ate a lot of manna until he died at the age of 120..which by my calculations is pretty old. I wonder if the book says that I should wake up extra early tomorrow collect some the food God leaves me on the ground, sell my car and walk everywhere until I get old. Because if that's the case I find the fruit basket truly misleading.
