Zoie 'I don't think Jesus did it this way.'

When a troubled young comic meets a bold, unpredictable woman, their story spirals into dark comedy, spiritual questions, and the unexpected hope of redemption.

This short-form audiobook delivers a cinematic punch — part redemption story, part black comedy, all heart.

Chris is a young alcoholic who wants nothing to do with his family’s bizarre mortuary business. He dreams of being a comedian, of making people laugh — but the economy is brutal, his drug habit is getting worse, and his life is unraveling fast.

Then there’s Zoie. She’s gorgeous, confident, and completely unpredictable — and she’s got plans of her own. What begins as an offbeat romance turns into a chaotic ride through grief, love, repentance, and faith.

Zoie: “I Don’t Think Jesus Did It This Way” is a dark, fast-moving romantic comedy with a strange spiritual twist. This is a short story about the opportunities found in: true love, repentance, forgiveness, and redemption.

Jack Webb was born in South Carolina and raised mostly on U.S. Air Force bases in Europe and the southwestern U.S. After college, he worked in the motion picture industry and became a director of photography. While in film production, he honed his addictions to a fine edge. Now many years sober, he writes stories inspired by real experiences, tales he’s heard, and his own vivid imagination. This is his first novella.
