The Beautiful Madness of Martin Bonham
A Tale about Loving God

Hilarious, Heart-Warming, Faith-Enlarging“I don’t love God.” Little did Gen-Z seminarian Katie Westcott know that when she made that confession to English professor Martin Bonham one fine summer day it would throw the quiet campus of Cupperton University into an uproar. Nothing would be the same again. Together, this unlikely pair of oddballs poses this question: What if students could major in “loving God”—not religion or theology, but in the daily challenge of loving the Creator with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength? Well, now they can … in the new and innovative Department of Theophily—the department of loving God. Yet, strangely enough, not everyone is happy about the new department, and they will stop at nothing to see it shut down. Part sitcom, part inspiration, this thoughtful theological comedy is like a Venn diagram in which C. S. Lewis and P. G. Wodehouse intersect.“An accomplished and seductive book you will never forget.” —Leonard Sweet, best-selling author, publisher, and founder of SpiritVenture Ministries “Hilarious, thoughtful, and thought-provoking: a true delight!” —Sarah Arthur, author of A Light So Lovely: The Spiritual Legacy of Madeleine L’Engle “Thoughtful and full of its share of shenanigans. A good reminder for all of us, don’t take yourself too seriously, but humbly seek to get things right.” —Traci Rhoades, Bible teacher and author, Not All Who Wander (Spiritually) Are Lost and Shaky Ground: What To Do after the Bottom Drops Out
