This is apparently trending right now on Twitter; people add a word to the title of a famous Christian book, to make something (hopefully) funny. Religion NewsService has collected some good ones. Some of the best I saw were:
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe Malfunction
The Power of a Praying Mantis Wife
God Has Made You Special Brownies
Roll your own, Shippies!

Not a book as such, and an improvement rather than ruining them, but I think there's room for a series of Chic(k) Murray Tracts.

I know I'm really going out on a limb here, but what if I combine a movie title with a book title?
Thus, "Confessions of Saint Augustine" becomes:
"Confessions of a Dangerous Mind: Saint Augustine's life as a game show host and CIA agent".
