Still grieving over the Lakers' loss in the NBA finals, Philip Mackenzie receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, asking him to come to an abandoned sports bar in the Oregon wilderness to talk it over. What Phil doesn't realize is that God is about to reveal Himself in a familiar earthly form that will powerfully draw him to the Divine. What transpires is a dialogue that will wrestle with the timeless question, "Where is God when your favorite sport team stinks?" The answers Phil receives will astound and transform him as he finally understands who God is for the first time in his life: a really tall black guy with a heart of gold.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT "THE SHAQ":
"This book does for our generation what John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress could never do for his: Fictionalize God as an NBA center. It's that stupid." --- John Piper, pastor and author
"With cameos by David Beckham and Peyton Manning as the other Persons of the Trinity, The Shaq is a theological slam dunk!" --- ESPN
"We already idolize sports figures in America, so why not idolize God, too?" --- Redbook
"Get this book and play some one-on-one with the coolest God ever!" --- Boy's Life
