We have been teaching this course at our Episcopal church to an intergenerational group of about 25-30 ranging in ages from 10-77. This is a wonderful course and even if you aren't a Simpsons fan, the series really is an eye-opener.

The only small bone to pick is that they use some (two)episodes for viewing that are unavailable via tape or DVD and this requires you to tape it off of TV when it airs, if you know when that is. Also some of the videos are out of print, so E-bay was a big help.

But the response to the course has been tremendous. People are really amazed that a "wicked, evil" cartoon can be so enlightening! I would recommend this for any church considering it.

We started using the Gospel According to the Simpsons with our High School youth group and the response has been awesome. The episodes and questions provide an excellent way to engage the kids in discussions. I highly recommend using this series - although I also recommend sending home a letter to parents explaining what you're doing with the series.

If you are looking for a leader's guide to match with "The Gospel According to the Simpsons, Bigger and Possibly Even Better," then don't get this one; get the older one. This leader's guide doesn't review any of the episodes covered in the book; it discusses completely different material. This leader's guide may be great on its own, but it doesn't match with the book which is very disappointing to me.

This is a great discussion starter in a small group or youth group setting. A great way to present to talk about God, the Bible, Heaven and Hell, etc...

this companion volume is a helpful addition to the original book. The videos are difficult to find but worth the effort.

This was a VERY good book for any small group. Yay for Pastor Skip! :D

I ordered this item but when the other books came this one was not with them. Although the paper said that it was in the shipment
