I like you, Zondervan. I usually like you a lot.<\/p>\n

But the Chunky Bible?<\/p>\n

WTF?!<\/p>\n

CHUNKY?! Really?<\/p>\n

Again, I like you. In some cases, I love you. Lots of my friends have publishing deals with you. Heck, God has had several publishing deals with you.<\/p>\n

But this was not his idea. So don’t blame him.<\/p>\n

When I hear the word “chunky,” I think of…<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"
I'm sure Campbells would LOVE to do a combo deal with God and the Apostle Paul.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Ben & Jerry would love to work with God, but I doubt they'd want to work with you guys. Sorry. \ud83d\ude41 <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"
Eh, it's Buddha. Maybe in his next life. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"
Chunky haircut anyone? Of course, Zondervan, you've already had a deal or two with Kate! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Chocolate would help this Bible idea of yours. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once again, I love you, Z. Can I call you Z? But this is bad idea.<\/p>\n

Nope. It doesn’t matter if it sells a million copies to Disney Channel fans.<\/p>\n

It’s the BIBLE. If you want to create the Chunky Purpose Driven Life, go for it. Rick could even do the ad campaign!<\/p>\n

Yes, I love you, too, Rick. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

PS: Zondervan, please don’t take me off your mailing list.<\/p>\n
