I didn't know the book is brief and therefore easy to read than the Bible. Thank you for the recommendation!vermontelf wrote: ↑10 Aug 2019, 13:26 Certainly this book is far easier to read than the Bible, so I would recommend it to anyone interested in studying the Old Testament. The last quarter of the book is fantastic resources. There were a couple stories that I expected to be longer (because I thought I knew them and knew more details) but overall I like the brevity of the stories. The stories of Cain and Abel I benefitted from as I did not know all those details.

Yes, Retelling the Biblical stories gives additional perspectives and makes the Bible more relevant to our daily experiences.Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑19 Aug 2019, 06:18I agree. The retelling of stories like Cain and Abel and that of Abraham were well done and provided additional perspectives making the Old Testament passages more understandable.Philip Chepsingil wrote: ↑18 Aug 2019, 09:51It has also made me get some of those Biblical stories from a different point of view and understanding.leiabutler wrote: ↑01 Aug 2019, 17:01 I don't think it necessarily changes my understand, it perhaps adds a new perspective but this doesn't take anything away from my understanding if anything it enforces it further.
