"Da Jesus Book" is written in ebonics which is probably not PC any longer, but I still enjoyed reading through it.
The 1631 Wicked Bible got its title because the printers "accidentally" left out a "not" in a thou shalt not of a ten commandment, thus reading "Thou shalt commit adultery." Over a hundred copies were printed and distributed before this scandalous act was discovered.
What surprised us the most was that the kids had so much fun looking at all of the old artifacts that they didn't want to leave when it was time to go. It was neat to see so many people come out from the community, many of different faiths, to take part in this opportunity!
I ran across another cool book a couple months ago in the family history library at our church. My family might think this is cool. It is a record of some ancestors on my Dad's side of the family.

What if the nots are the typos after all?
Caleb dragged me around that exhibit for over an hour looking at all the different things. He was totally excited.
I so need a copy of "Da Jesus Book". Hilarious!!
Wow! When is that exhibit coming to Utah. We could use Da Jesus Book and a little wickedness.
Let's all ponder if the "nots" are the typos after all. : )
So cool!
