"The people behind the stories in the Old Testament were not always the heroes we now see them to be. They were real people, with real struggles. They were sinners, failures, and doubters. But they were also conduits for miracles and wonders. The heroes are the people who failed, struggled, and were imperfect, and yet had the strength to return to God. Wrapping together history, language, culture, and motifs, author Lori L. Denning brings light and deeper interpretation to the Old Testament stories we already know so well"--provided by publisher
