They may not be quite as you remember them, but each story in this ingenious collection some whimsical, some serious finds its roots in a close reading of the Bible and interpretations of it that originated centuries ago. Take a look through God s telescope and see how it all really happened: What was it like to be in Joseph s sandals as his brothers sold him into Egyptian slavery?

One of these major stage-setting trends that we are currently seeing is the rise of a coalition of nations that harbors a hostile intent toward Israel. No matter which presidential administration comes into office in this nation and no matter how the calendar turns, this is an issue that does not seem to go away.

A detailed explanation of the Gospel will aid Christians in recognizing and addressing unbelief, and extensive biblical references allow the Bible to defend itself against objections. A section on communication will help...

A second story recounts how Jesus transformed mud into living birds, while yet another has Joseph telling Mary to keep Jesus in the house so that no one else gets hurt. What was life really like in the household of Joseph, Mary, and little Jesus? The canon of the New Testament provides few...
