An uproarious, irreverent, unauthorized parody of the Christian bestseller, Heaven Is A Deal tells the story of an unscrupulous Iowa couple's bungling attempts to send a preschooler to Heaven to meet Jesus—then use the kid's memories to gain fame and fortune. <br> <br>The perfect antidote to fundamentalist claptrap, for believers and non-believers alike. You don't have to be rational to love this spoof…but it helps!
