About

"What's worse than being 21 and having to attend a day program on a mental ward because you lost your sh*t at work? Finding out that you are not just crazy, but you also have cancer. In a world where bookstores are filled with sugary self help books that lack the balls to say how it really is when cancer and mental illness start kicking your ass, THE BAD TIMES BIBLE smashes down the doors of political correctness to claim the title of... the ultimate field guide for the young angry man in crisis. Filled with hard fought wisdom and delivered in a take no prisoners, make no apologies tone, THE BAD TIMES BIBLE will comfort, inspire, shock and amuse the reader with hilarious and horrifying insights into the world of cancer and mental illness from a veteran who has lived to tell the tale... and brought back a map. This is the manual you want in your hands if you or someone you love hears those eleven terrible words, "I am sorry you are nuts, but you have cancer too..." From dealing with your friends and family, to tales of awkward sex and bar fights during treatment, THE BAD TIMES BIBLE is a brutally honest, raw and funny look at how one young man searched his heart for answers to some of life's big questions while dealing with not one, but two of life's scariest situations, having cancer and mental illness... at the same time."--Page [4] of cover.
