It's difficult to name tone the favorites to one. I really love David and Goliath, Daniel in Lion's Den and Cain and Abel too. It could be a bit weird but Noah's flood was a little too close to heart I suppose but it really resonates the thought of if you want to truly change something you must destroy it and then give it a fresh start

I agree that it had a different tone and that it might be difficult to name one passage favourite, David and Goliath is an excellent selection.

My favorite passage was the one about Cain and Abel. I think Greenwood does a great job describing the extreme jealousy that Cain felt.

The flood shows us that things can change in an instant. Everything can seem fine, and this shows tells me that things are not always as good as it seems.

I also really enjoyed this story! I enjoyed reading it from a new perspective and having the author delve deeper into the themes of the story. In the bible, I've always wished there was a bit more said about it.

The parting of the Red Sea was too fantastical for me to imagine. It always seemed like an Avatar Ang feat, but it is a great selection.
