Publisher's Synopsis
They may not be quite as you remember them, but each story in this ingenious collection-some whimsical, some serious-finds its roots in a close reading of the Bible and interpretations of it that originated centuries ago. Take a look through God's telescope and see how it all really happened: What was it like to be in Joseph's sandals as his brothers sold him into Egyptian slavery? How did Esther use her pretty face as a tool to save the Hebrew people? And what in the name of … well, you know who … happened to the unicorns included on the ark's original passenger manifest? Your guide will be a sassy angel named Gabriella. The territory you cover will be familiar. But the questions and insights that these clever, profound stories will prompt you to grapple with-may surprise you. Biblical characters explored include: Adam Eve Cain Abel Noah Sarah Abraham Isaac Jacob Esau Joseph Moses Jonah Mordechai Haman Esther Ahasuerus Naomi Ruth Samson Delilah David
