In Native American traditions, Coyote is the Trickster--the one you want to avoid but love to hear stories about. In the Aztec tradition, Coyote is "God's Dog." As a minor deity, Coyote is at home in the world we know and in the world of magic and the gods. In this series of coyote adventures, he gets involved with a parish minister in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They meet for donuts and go on drives through the desert and mountains in an old VW Thing. They discuss just what you'd expect form a minor deity and a philosophical clergyman--death. lying, progress, why Jesus was crucified, what money will buy, and the nature of the universe.

This review is from: God's Dog: Conversations With Coyote (Paperback)
I can't believe no one's reviewed this yet. I have all three of these books and love them. If you're the kind of person who doesn't believe God has sense of humor, you might want to stay away. But if you think God might occasionally manifest as a scruffy Trickster who will go tooling off across the desert in a VW with a minister to show him the meaning of life, you might enjoy these books a lot. I can't remember which volume it was in, but my favorite scene was the one where Kitchell meets Coyote and Jesus in the local donut shop for a discussion of theology.
