The Search for God and Guinness

Alcohol and religion might be the unholiest of unions but throughout history, it’s been shown that the two are actually intertwined. Jesus Christ performed his first miracle wherein he turned water into wine and in ancient Europe, alcohol provided a miracle of its own. Water wasn’t really fit for drinking so the Guinness family of Ireland concocted their now-famous dark Irish stout, a healthier alternative to putrid water. This book, written by renowned religious author Stephen Mansfield, chronicles beer’s history and how it is ingrained in the Irish culture and its consequent world domination. Drinking and reading, both divine experiences. $17.
