If you've ever suffered through a Passover Seder, you're well aware of the fact that the entire evening can feel like we're still in bondage. There are endless stories, frequent hand washing, and not enough eating. The book you hold before you is no ordinary Haggadah. For This We Left Egypt? is a hilarious and entertaining parody from the comedic minds of Dave Barry, Alan Zweibel, and Adam Mansbach. These award-winning comedy writers take you through every step of the Seder, from getting rid of all the chametz in your house by setting it on fire with a standard blowtorch (preferably outdoors), to breaking the middle matzah-that is, if you can find a piece that isn't already broken, to a hilariously absurd retelling of the Passover story featuring Pharaoh Schmuck, a burning bush that sounds kind of like Morgan Freeman, and the Promised Land which turned out not to be a land of milk and honey but rather one of rocks and venomous scorpions the size of Yorkshire terriers. Also included are useless commentary and thought-provoking discussion questions throughout such as: Is Manischewitz considered a plague? Publishing just in time for Passover, this book will be the perfect gift book from G-d that you'll want to share and laugh over with friends and family.
Roger McEwan was lucky to be made redundant from
his corporate career in 2001 when his son was one and his daughter
a small bump. He started a small consulting firm, just himself,
and this allowed him to truly achieve work-life balance, enabling
him to spend many valuable hours with his children as they grew.
His world lurched once again when his children were six and
eight and he found himself a single dad sharing care of his
children with his ex-wife. This book is the result of his journey
as a single dad raising his two wonderful, challenging children.
Roger has a PhD in management and still runs his own
consulting business. Has a part-time role with the local district
health board, is writing a management book with a colleague he met
during his studies, is collecting material for a sequel to this
book, and teaches on the Massey University MBA programme. Most
importantly he is a dad, father, parent, teacher and friend to his
two children now aged 17 and 15.
