The Holy Ghost: A Spirited Comic

By Patrick McDonnell and John Hendrix

From the New York Times bestselling and award-winning artist John Hendrix comes The Holy Ghost, a charming, funny, and thought-provoking collection of spiritual comics.

Does God exist? Is there a heaven? What's the point of it all? Do we even matter?

This collection of thought-provoking, humorous comic strips is a series of conversations between a squirrel, a badger, and a friendly blue ghost who may or may not be one third of the Holy Trinity. Charming, witty, and at times poignant, yet never holier-than-thou, John Hendrix tackles some of life's greatest questions.

Whether you consider yourself faithful or a nonbeliever, these delightfully off-kilter comics deliver laughter, comfort, and philosophical musings with humble, honest spirit--and just the right dose of playful irreverence.

Foreword by Patrick McDonnell, a Caldecott Honor recipient and creator of MUTTS

"The Holy Ghost introduces us to a spirit who is charming, approachable and insightful . . . He does for this underrated part of the Godhead what Charles M. Schulz did for beagles." --St. Louis Public Radio

Bought on a whim, not disappointed

I read the whole book in 2 hours then pondered it for many more. can’t stop sharing pages of it with friends. It’s the right balance of thought provoking, tender, funny, and classy. I don’t understand all of it, but I like that it is giving me room to grow.
