Stories in the Bible demonstrate how God works through the lives
of ordinary, very human, people just like us.
For millennia, the stories of the Patriarchs, along with several
women, have been told from generation to generation in the Jewish
community, shaping how God's chosen people understand their
relationship with him. In People of the Bible Uncensored,
modern Christians can get to know these legendary characters and
the God who worked in and through them. Readers will be introduced
to David, who wrestled with sexual temptation, and Abraham, who
found it just as difficult to wait on God's timing as Christians
sometimes do today. As they begin to see the ancients for who they
really were, readers will be encouraged and challenged to trust the
God who can accomplish extraordinary things through the unlikeliest
of people.
