Oh God. It Hurts! Is an audiobook about the hard questions in life. This audio version was created specifically for an audiobook and is updated and expanded from the print version. Why is there pain? Why do people suffer? How does God fit into all of this? This audiobook asks lots of questions and shares the author's own personal stories, as well as those of his sister. Many of those stories are unpleasant and troubling.

This is a story for children of all ages, and is suitable for grandparents or parents to listen to with their children. It is the story of a wondrous electric elephant and the people who encounter it. Big as a house, this wondrous electric elephant is able to move and do amazing things, depending on who is piloting it and whether or not some cats have sneaked into the inside of the electric elephant.

The choice of bringing a book out of the dustbin of history and making it more easily available to the general public should be an easy decision, right? Not in the case of The Wonderful Electric Elephant written by Frances Montgomery. Listeners can hear exactly what Frances Montgomery wrote and decide for themselves what they think of it. Parts of this novel are a vile stain on history and society. But, I must also add that she wrote some innovative ideas and had some imaginative concepts which were ahead of her time.
