An excellent series of satires written at the turn of the century and published in the magazine, "The Masses" in and around 1914. Only about ten of the 40 or so dialogues/skits in the book (collected and published in 1927) were seen in the magazine. The short dialogues that comprise each skit or scene involve conversations between God and a cast of intellectuals, evangelicals, pacifists, angels, politicals, prohibitionists, and writers, humorists, etc including but not limited to Mark Twain, Voltaire, Billy Sunday, Jesus, William Shakespeare and Jesus. Witty, dry and frank, this book takes satirical jabs at the issues of the time period with both gloves off, and yet many of the books messages are still aptly relevant to life in 2011.
