Bob Hartman retells his favorite stories of the Bible--but with his own inimitably subversive and kindly twist

Popular storyteller Bob Hartman is renowned for his fresh take on often-told stories, bringing them to life with vibrant characters and a lively twist on the tale. Now, he launches a new series of stories--The Unauthorized Versions--that are packed full of humor, mischief, silliness, and fun--but which all have a good-hearted and memorable conclusion. These easy-to-read stories range from the Old Testament to the New, but are given a completely original slant. Each story is told from the point of view of someone involved in the action in a unique way. For example, Adam gives his version of "The Garden of Eden," the lion gives his version of "Daniel and the Lion," the landlord gives his version of "Shepherds and the Birth of Jesus," and the dead boy gives his version of "Jesus Raises the Widow's Son." Retold at a great pace, black and white line illustrations accompany the text throughout and area a perfect match to Bob's mischievous storytelling.

Everyone wants to be loved--to find someone who will stick with them through all of life's ups and downs, someone who is in it for the long haul. But in a world where dating is increasingly based on split-second decisions and geared toward casual relationships rather than marriage, it's easy for single people to feel discouraged, used, or unworthy of true love and lasting affection. Reality just never seems to match up with our (often wildly unrealistic) expectations. Jonathan "JP" Pokluda has counseled thousands of young singles through the pain and heartbreak of dating the world's way. Now he wants to dispel the myths, misconceptions, and fairy tales you've believed about dating and replace them with the truth from the One who invented marriage, created you to crave relationship, and is the very embodiment of true love. With plenty of true stories about relationships healed and love found, this practical book explains God's purposes for singleness, dating, and marriage and covers why you should date, who you should date, and how you should date. If you're ready to trade the world's way of dating for the way that actually works, it's time to begin dating well.
