Bernard Shaw 
The Adventures of a Black Girl in Search of God [EPUB ebook] 

Where is God? Taking the maxim ’seek and ye shall find‘ literally, a recently converted African girl embarks upon her own quest to find God. With only her bible as a guide she plunges into the jungle, where alongside snakes and lions she meets a dazzling array of religious and philosophical figures, from the God of Noah to Jesus, the Prophet and Voltaire, each one seeking to convince her of their claim to truth.
So controversial was Shaw’s Adventures of the Black Girl in Her Search for God when it first appeared in 1932 that it provoked a public outcry, with Shaw decried as a blasphemer. This brilliantly sardonic allegory showcases some of Shaw’s more unorthodox thoughts on race, religion and God, while remaining a fascinating tale of the universal search for truth.
