HE SAYS: “The 50 stories curated here relate to some of the most important and historical events recorded in the Bible.”

THE BIG IDEA: This book presents 50 Old Testament stories, some lesser known and others well known, to help bring adults up to speed on their Bible knowledge.

THE PROGRESSION: Illustrated with classic four-color artwork, each of this book’s 50 chapters presents a Bible story from the Old Testament. Included with the stories are brief introductions that provide insight and context, short postscripts that call out truths, along with a dose of humor and interesting tidbits.

“This volume will help unveil the abundant world of biblical allusions and references that are rife throughout literature, music, and pop culture.”
