If Jesus Was A Copywriter

Hi,

I am fresh and little green to this forum. But I have an idea for the contest. I love contests. Hope you too.

Imagine Jesus Christ (who was really super in delivering words to listeners) wrote a book. How could He name it?

'Bible' is not accepted. This is too easy.

My suggestion for the book name is 'Simple Words That Changed Nothing, But The World'

Post your suggestions for book name and comments to the name of other contestants. The winner is a person that gets the biggest approval from you.

I reckon Jesus was probably a straight-talking kinda dude who got up the nose of the establishment (political and religious). He would probably see the Bible the same way I do, so he'd call it:

"Random homilies losely woven into a sentimental story that can easily be interpreted to reinforce the prevailing political, social and religious ethos"

But then most people probably wouldn't get the joke, so he'd give up and call it "bible" which literally means "book". You choose whether it's an important book and whether everything that gets published is true, factual, relevant, useful and authoritative simply because someone made the effort to print it.

Ha, that would be something... Titling the Bible as an Amazon Best seller.

"How to Win Followers and Influence Dieties -
A practical guide to get you into heaven"

or

The 22 Immutable Laws of Piety

or how about

The No B.S. Guide to Salvation

I could go on for days

Hi Erik,

Thanks for suggestion. But I personally liked your "A practical guide to get you into heaven"

It rocks. So simple and so attractive.

Hello ,
Not to nitpic .. but mathew mark luck and john where the copywriters .. or the groups of writers . most getting wrriten down well after the events of jesus's life . Now if you want a great marketer /copywriter .. look at Paul .

When you look at the old testiment . One thing the writers understood is That you really had to put racey stuff in a book to get it Read and reread.

Thanks for the answer, Ken.

And what about the name for Bible? Do you have your own suggestions for it?

It's not obligatory to answer, just wanted to hear your idea
