Abstract:
It is reasonable to believe that you are at least vaguely familiar with the stories contained in this book. You may not, however, be aware of where and how these stories and events fit into the scheme of God’s Self-disclosure to the likes of us. It is also reasonable to believe, in response to the urgings of parents, clergy, conscience, or curiosity, that at some time you decided to read your Bible…only to bog down and surrender before completing Genesis. If this describes your circumstances, BIBLE STORIES FOR GROWN-UPS may provide you with a solution that’s both happy and pleasant.

BIBLE STORIES IN A FRESH, FUNNY NEW LIGHT

If I thought this would be a boring religious book when I first turned to page one and started reading, I was quickly set straight. It was, in fact, hard to put it down!
The author gives us fresh new insight into the old, old stories of our childhood Sunday School days. He uses humor and sometimes impolitically (is that a word?) correct language (which was quite appropriate for the circumstances)to tell the stories in a new, grownup fashion.
Did anyone realize that Methuselah might have died in the great flood, which means he would have lived even longer had he been as God-fearing as his grandson, Noah.
The reader will learn many fascinating facts and some interesting speculation while enjoying the author's version of the old Bible stories.
And I especially like the ending of each chapter, 'In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.'
