Book 20 - Robert L. Short - The Parable of Peanuts - acknowledgment to Charles Schulz
I love Charlie Brown, just saying, I felt a lot like him when younger, hmmm... maybe too much sharing
Anyway, this book uses the amazing cartoons of Charles Schulz and takes a look at some of them under a Christian microscope.
It is heavy going in places - quoting Bonhoeffer, Shakespeare, C.S. Lewis, Ingmar Bergman and more - but it made me think...it made me chuckle...it made me look at the world of a cartoon comic strip in new wonder.
With chapters as deep as -
- Where your blanket is, there will your heart be also
- Slip-ups, doghouses and free psychiatric help
Take a load off and to quote from the book that quotes from the Book...
Lamentations 3:14 and show more 17
14
I have become the laughingstock of all peoples,
the object of their taunts all day long.
17
my soul is bereft of peace;
I have forgotten what happiness is
Let Charlie Brown and the gang remind you what happiness is show less

Beware of Robert L. Short's book because he is not preaching the true gospel. He is an universalism. That is not the true gospel. I do love Peanuts as the comics strip, but I don't like any Robert L. Short's books.
reflections on faith and life
Another continuation of Gospel and Peanuts cartoons.
Very good book relating Jesus and life through cartoons.
