For those new to Christian life, the Bible is often an imposing
book filled with tales of pregnant virgins, large fish,
unbelievable miracles, and challenging stretches of the
imagination. It is a daunting task to make sense of biblical
narrative and to convey what the story is attempting to do, but
skilled storyteller Frank Honeycutt brings lively, fresh
interpretations to old stories - and readers will come away with
both understanding and inspiration.Conveniently arranged by seasons
of the church year, newcomers and life-long Christians alike will
encounter the Bible stories of Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent,
Easter, and time after Pentecost in a whole new way. The stories
explored include: Desert Highway Home, Isaiah 40:3; Surrogate
Messiahs, John 1:19-20; Love at First Sight, Matthew 4:20; Boating
Tips for Night Crossings, Matthew 14:22; and many more.
