About Radio Free Babylon
David J. Wilkie is the cofounder of Radio Free Babylon, a consortium of artists, writers and other cultural creatives.
"The cheeky, online comic strip that has gained a cult audience of
40,000-plus followers in less than three years is now ready to
burst upon the world as a giftable, brightly hued coffee-table
book. . . . The wit is barbed, theology surprisingly relevant, and
the overall effect highly addictive."
*John Muraski, Religion News Service, December 2013*
"We have much to be thankful for in Wilkie's creative work here,
and the ways in which it ever so gently prods us toward a deeper
understanding of who Jesus is and what it means to follow him in
our times."
*Chris Smith, Englewood Review of Books, Advent 2013*
"David Wilkie accomplishes in a four-panel comic strip what
preachers try to achieve in a 45-minute sermon—making one solid
point that delivers a spiritual truth. Wilkie's popular Coffee with
Jesus strip invites the reader to eavesdrop on conversations
between Jesus and a diverse cast of characters as they discuss
everyday topics including relationships, culture, and church.
Worship leaders will gain insight into the types of questions and
issues real-life people struggle with daily."
*Jeff Friend, Worship Leader Magazine, January/February 2014*
"Irreverent yet insightful."
*Heidi Schlumpf, National Catholic Reporter, December 9, 2013*
"This collection of strip cartoons, originally seen online, uses
the simplest means—clip art—to the richest ends: disarmingly funny
reflections on human failings and faith, featuring stock characters
in conversation with an amusing and amused Jesus. Revelatory."
*Library Journal's Best Books 2013, December 2013*
"The heart is the comic collection and its humor, at once gentle
and barbed and more thought-provoking than many a sermon. Buy this
for a Christmas gift, to be read over a cup of strong joe."
*Publishers Weekly, November 11, 2013*
"We can all wish that the author is right and that Jesus was as
funny as this; Wilkie's book deserves a place on the shelf of every
pastor."
*Library Journal, November 15, 2013*
"Organized around six themes, the comic strips in this devotional
feature a recurring cast of characters who honestly engage with
Jesus about their lives, effectively showing what conversation with
God—or prayer—might look like. . . . Recommend Coffee With Jesus to
youth and young adults."
*CBA Retailers + Resources, December 2013*
