Flipping through this book reminds me of how embarrassing IAF's albums are. A typical skit of theirs is made up of one overstretched one-joke premise with a bland "message" tagged on to the very end. The delivery always had spaces that were the aural equivalent of a neon APPLAUSE signs to help along the usually humorless Bible-campers in their audience.
Such dumb "parodies" of tv as "Leave it to Squirley" are not interesting enough to hold the attention of adults who may know of "Leave it Beaver", but it will surely mystify the 9 or 10 year olds who are at IAF's level. This book kicks off with "Jerusalem Dragnet", which has unsettling similarities to a Stan Freiberg comedy album from the late 1950s--but without any internal jokes, wit, or puns. Undoubtedly IAF were inspired by the true geniuses of album sketch comedy, The Firesign Theater. But TFT's albums from the 1970s stand up to repeated listenings even for fairly young folk.
Skit comedy is a flogged horse nowadays, but IAF's gee-wiz "witnessing tools" were trite propaganda even back in the 1970s and '80s.

The material in this book is inspired by God. It takes simple biblical truths and humorously reveals them through drama. The only negative comment is that there will be no sequels.
