Shocked by Blessing

I read lots of books and most of them are books by authors who are
followers of Christ. A few weeks ago Shocked by Blessing came in the post.
In this book biblical characters's stories are told in a great perspective. The stories are told with a broad brush giving the reader the gist of the Bible person warts and all. It is amazing to see how ordinary people like Abraham & Isaac and Moses & Joshua are so like us. These stories are creatively interspersed with contemporary people who so like the bible characters are flawed but convey God's blessing nevertheless.

This is the kind of book I can recommend not just because one of the authors is the wife of my cousin Alan, but because the stories are so real.
It is striking to read bible stories (for adults) and the stories of authentic followers of Jesus side by side that resonate within my own life. The sort
of book you can easily loan/give to a thoghtful person whether or not they are a follower of Jesus. (ISBN 978-0-9752422-3-0)
