God Made Me Do It: True Stories of the Worst Advice the Lord has Ever Given His Followers (Sourcebooks)
Does God, in His infinite wisdom, convince people to get rid of their car insurance? Does He encourage cannibalism? Does the God of more than six billion people actually have time to root for the Minnesota Vikings? According to some, yes.
How do people know God wants these things? He told them. Luckily, God also told Marc Hartzman to write this book, a collection of the most shocking, absurd, and hilarious things people have ever claimed God asked them to do, and to present them for your pure reading enjoyment.
Including:
The man that God told to perform surgery on himself
God's generous offer to miraculously fill his believer's gas tank
The fateful day God (assumedly feeling nostalgic for his teen years) asked a man to TP a police station
The woman God instructed to direct traffictopless
And, sadly, many more
What People Are Saying
"No one likes taking responsibility for idiotic decisions, but Bizarre writer, Hartzman, proves the deluded won't think twice about putting God in the frame. Killing the wife over dirty dishes, invading Iraq, and DIY operations have all been laid at the big man's door. The moral of the story? It's all His fault."

"The phrase ‘God told me to’' is an excuse people offer for all sorts of behavior from harmless pranks to horrendous crimes. It also is the punch line for the funny tales in ‘God Made Me Do It’ (Sourcebooks). In this new book, Hartzman’s affinity for the zany extends to an entertaining cast of characters, including Bob, who built a life-size Jesus out of toothpicks."
