When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 15
And God Said 'Billy!' is a darkly comic coming-of-age story written by the master story teller that House of Sand and Fog author Andre Dubus III hailed as the funniest American writer since Mark Twain. The story is set in the 1980s and is about Billy, a young fundamentalist Christian who feels called to go to Hollywood to make "God's movie." But everything goes off the rails when he accepts a job to direct a soft-porn slasher/exploitation film in apartheid-era South Africa. He makes this "It's a deal not a movie" picture even though he has to bust the US entertainment industry's anti-apartheid sanctions in hopes his "worldly movie" will be "used by God" as a "stepping stone" to making his own divinely sanctioned "End Times" picture. Billy loses his fundamentalist faith, his film career, his family and more.

Where does And God Said, Billy! rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the most entertaining for sure! I don't listen to a lot of fiction though.
What other book might you compare And God Said, Billy! to and why?
Kind of like a short Shanaram effort. A Surprising and intimate journey with a soul or should I say,with a Heart!
Have you listened to any of Frank Schaeffer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I've listened to: Crazy For God, Zermatt, and tons of youtube
I have loved everything by Frank Schaffer that I've listened to!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed out loud many times
Any additional comments?
Back to Thanksgiving, There was a few award moments, broken glasses , and I didn't get laid but all in all a feast !
