Illustrated by
Marla Frazee.
This abridged and somewhat revised version of God Went to Beauty School keeps the previous book's humorous yet insightful spirit intact. Sixteen of the original twenty-three poems are presented in a slightly different order; a few terms have been modernized (e.g., some He's are now She's); and a full-page illustration accompanies each poem. This is a welcome addition for contemplative readers.
