Ancient stories from the Bible offer lessons for today's world
"Little has changed over the millennia. Our existence remains
suspended between the realm of the eternal and the elemental plane
of the material world. This tension pulls at our hearts and minds
as we attempt to find our true selves in relationship to each other
and to God. This is the crucible of our lives: the true test of our
powers of strength and conviction in the face of adversity, our
wrestling with the range of human emotion, from jealousy and rage
to kindness, sacrifice, and generosity toward the ones we love."
—from the Introduction With insight, thoughtfulness and wit,
these provocative and entertaining re-imaginings of stories from
the Bible highlight the ways God can work for and through us, even
today: Barren and despairing Sarah becomes pregnant—learning that
nothing is impossible. Jacob the trickster is, in turn, tricked
into marrying the wrong wife—learning that what goes around comes
around. Joseph is sold into slavery by his brothers, only to rise
to wield power of life and death over them—learning that patience
and integrity will win out in the end. Through multifaceted
characters, original stories and vivid natural imagery, Caduto
brings this ancient world to life. He immerses you in a
richly-textured experience of another time and place. Within these
pages you will come to see these familiar tales through new eyes.
