Book Description

Series: Simpsons Library of Wisdom | Publication Date: April 15, 2008

Hi-diddly-ho, true believers! Ned Flanders offers up a helping handful of homespun and homeschooled hints for G-rated general audiences.

Follow the Nedster as he leads you through the thorny debate over church vs. state, puts the focus on the Flander's family tree, and lists his forbidden words (a.k.a. Neddy No-Nos). This gospel of goodness also includes a souvenir map to Praiseland, Ned's Comic Book of Virtues, and a sampling of the left-handed luxuries available only at The Leftorium. Whether you live north, south, east, or even west of the Bible belt, good ol' Nedilly Doodily will put you on the road to righteousness!

See the "candy wrapper rustler", the "hymn hummer" and all the others you remember )or still know, from church. See Homer's water-slide-to-the-baptismal-pool, and more. Fun to give as a gift.

This review is from: Flanders' Book of Faith: Simpsons Library of Wisdom (Hardcover)

I purchased two of these books for each of my sons who are in their mid-30s and grew up watching the Simpsons. Both of them laughed continually as they read the books and have enjoyed them immensely. The books now have an honored place on their coffee tables in Asheville and Charlotte, NC. I recommend the book to anyone who likes a good laugh and tongue-in-cheek humor.

This review is from: Flanders' Book of Faith: Simpsons Library of Wisdom (Hardcover)

This is a funny little book that even most religious people should be able to enjoy. It doesn't go too far in poking fun.

A highlight is the peek inside Flanders' head where one can inspect the varioius compartments of his mind.
