The New International Version of Daniel (NIVOD) Scripture. Satire. Sanctified Absurdity. Step into a world where holiness meets hilarity, and divine revelation comes… with a comb. From the author of The NIVOB (New International Version of Baldness) comes the long-awaited sacred-and-slightly-silly sequel, The New International Version of Daniel , known among scholars and shampooers alike as The NIVOD . In this illuminated parody of ancient scripture, the reader journeys through the mythic theology of the Holy Hair , a cosmic covenant woven strand by strand through creation itself. Here, prophets prophesy in split ends, temples rise in curls of faith, and the eternal war between Hair and Baldness rages across the heavens in operatic, tongue-in-cheek glory. Equal parts ecclesiastical epic and irreverent wit , this book blends the language of sacred text with the dry humor of a modern philosopher. Each page echoes the cadence of ancient scripture. yet delivers the punchline of a perfectly timed satire. Inside you’ll discover: The Epic of the Holy Hair , from the first strand of creation to the fall of the Anti-Hair. - The Book of the Comb , The Celestial Scripture , and the Codex of Forbidden Hairstyles . - The shortest minor prophet in history, a man with only one hair and one sermon. - And the sacred genealogies no one asked for (but everyone will remember). Beautifully formatted in the style of a 1600s illuminated manuscript, The NIVOD is both a literary parody and a visual experience , complete with hand-drawn engravings that honor (and humor) the grandeur of holy text. For readers who enjoy: Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett - Monty Python’s Life of Brian - The Book of Mormon (and other divinely inspired comedies) - Or anyone who’s ever looked up and wondered if heaven has a barbershop Praise (and possibly penance): “Profoundly ridiculous, ridiculously profound. A theological triumph of satire.” — Dr. Folliclus VIII, Chair of Theological Hair Studies Behold the revelation. Join the faithful. Glory to the Hair.
