Have you ever wondered what Jesus would have patented? Perhaps He never would have patented anything, but many of His followers have patented ingenious inventions related to the Christian faith. Patents have been granted for artificial Christmas trees, fire extinguishing ornaments, Santa Claus detection kits, Easter egg decorating kits, steeples, pews, holy-water fonts, communion cup fillers, baptismal garments, rosaries, Christian board games, Jesus dolls, and scores of others. This book presents 101 ingenious and interesting patented inventions related to the Christian faith.
