"When the world's messed up..." You know the reasoning. It goes like this: how can there be a God who is omnipotent and benevolent? Just look around you! Pah! Why bother! The God Interviews provide not only a brilliant answer to this but one that is full of compassion and, yes, love. Refreshing in this cynical age. Bravo, Augustine, and bravo, Natalie d'Arbeloff! (and Bravo to the kindly chap with the white hair, too.)

"Funny, Insightful, Original" Through her alter ego Blaugstine, renowned blogger Natalie D'Arbeloff interviews the Person we would all most like to hear from: God. Blaugustine's God turns out to be a delightful companion, full of wry wisdom if occasionally curmudgeonly. His answers to Blaugustine's incisive, sometimes deliberately naive questions poke holes in our received ideas and in the contradictions of human life, and show all of it to be beautiful. A most entertaining book-length comic strip that will leave you thankful to the author -- and the Author.

"This atheist loved it too!" I loved this hilarious, piercing, beautiful book. I'm an atheist myself, but Natalie D'Arbeloff's cartoon alter-ego Augustine, in her dialogue with God, speaks no less for me, for all of us. The full-colour artwork is gorgeous. I know nothing like it. Wonderful.

"God Sits Down for a Chat" I rarely come across any graphic novel with content that intrigues and charms me. Being allergic to preachiness, I also have a rather jaundiced view of any work that tries to tell the reader what might be in the Mind of God. This book broke through all obstacles. Natalie D'Arbeloff has published a little tome that delights the eye, warms the heart, and gives the brain a few whirls round the dance floor. With artwork that feels like a perfect marriage of Thurber's doodles to Blake's painstaking lines and brilliant colours, matched with a fabulous "God-outside-the-Box" approach to the interviews, this is a book NOT to be missed.

"Great for all ages and religious persuasions!" This is one of the most brilliant, deceptively simple books I've ever read. We received our copy in the mail yesterday and it's already been devoured by me, my wife, and my 12-year-old daughter who refused to leave for school this morning until she finished it. Each chapter functions almost like a koan and can be used as a basis for long discussion or private meditation. Or the book could just be savored for the pure pleasure of it, with the bigger ideas seeping into the crevices of our brain over time. I can't wait for the next set of adventures!
