The Bible is a book of stories par excellence and is wholly realistic about human nature. Hero, Lover, Daughter, Queen retells ten timeless stories of biblical characters who grappled with the reality of the human condition and reached beyond themselves for understanding from within the messy confines of lives like ours.
* Solomon - how to create your legacy;
* The lover in the Song of Songs - what makes you beautiful?
* Goliath - what makes you strong?
* The paralytic man - where to find true friendship;
* Jezebel - what it's like to be thrown to the dogs;
and more.
Contemporary issues such as racism, the environment, mental health and wellbeing come under the spotlight in this imaginative book. In these striking stories we are offered a mirror in which to see ourselves more clearly, find wisdom for our own times, make better sense of our own experiences and insights for navigating our way through today's complex world.
