“Funny and off-kilter in the best way, Mac Barron will help you look with fresh eyes at people in the Bible you thought you knew and discover that they were all too human.”
— BISHOP ROBERT REED, president, The CatholicTV Network
“There are lots of books about the Catholic Faith. This is one of them. Mac has given us a new way to look at the Gospels. Even though reading is hard, I think you’ll love this book.”
— LINO RULLI, host, The Catholic Guy Show on Sirius XM Satellite Radio
“The best humor starts with the truth, and Mac Barron’s inspiration for Clueless in Galilee happens to be the Gospel. He’s that guy who, in the midst of our deeply serious pondering, leans over and deadpans a funny observation that makes us crack a smile — and crack open a fresh way of seeing ourselves in the disciples’ earnest interactions with Christ. Barron loves the Lord and loves the Faith, and he shares his insight into both with just the right balance of wry wit and affection that reveals his intimacy with the Lord and the Gospel message of love and mercy.”
— MARIA MORERA JOHNSON, author of My Badass Book of Saints: Courageous Women Who Taught Me How to Live and Super Girls and Halos: My Companions on the Quest for Truth, Justice, and Heroic Virtue
