Saints & Scoundrels of the Bible [antikvár]

Introduction T ¦^he gossip magazines at the local grocery store have nothing on the Bible. If you want to read about people making either bad or heroic decisions, being wise or unwise in marriage, standing strong or following the crowd, being perpetrators or victims of horrible crimes, then look no further than the Bible on your shelf. Saints ?r Scoundrels of the Bible focuses on the people of the Bible. In this little book, you'll be introduced to people in the following categories: • "Winners and Whiners" shows you some of the winners in the Bible (like Raliab, Ruth, Esther, and Daniel) along with some of the whiners (like Miriam, Aaron, Ahab, and Jonah). • "Big Shots and Mug Shots" focuses on some of the big shots (such as Hezeldah and Nicodemus), along with some criminal types (such as Cain and Achan) who show up in the Bible. • In the "Leaders and Laborers" section you'll be introduced to those who led (like Abraham and Joshua) and those who labored (like Noah and Nehemiah). • The "Prophets and Losses" section gives you a snapshot of the lives of all of the Bible's prophets. You'll find out what they said, did, and in some cases lost, in order to bring God's message to his people.
