Bible Stories of People Who Affected History Written to Add Meaning to Your Life's Story: Twenty One Prominent Biblical Characters Presented Accurately and Referenced. (Bible Studies Book Series.)
Here are twenty one stories of prominent biblical characters whose stories God gave to inspire your life's story. Relive with me a scene from early history. We are in the Garden of Eden. It is the sixth day of creation, and God has just finished making a man out of dust. The man is lying on the garden floor. He is perfect but dead. God leans down and lifts the man's head and breathes into his nostrils the breath of life and he becomes alive. God calls him Adam. Genesis 2:7 Imagine another scene; There is Moses and David and John and Paul and many more. They are each sitting by their own desk with clean parchment spread out before them. They pick up their pens and begin to write. They are inspired and write the stories of people. God wants you to know those people so God stoops down and lifts their parchments and breathes on them, and they become alive. 2 Timothy 3:16 says that all Scripture is God breathed. It is living and active and sharper than any two edged sword. I love stories, and the Bible contains many interesting stories. They are true to life and are given to us to teach us about our lives. They contain the good, the bad, the ugly, failures, victories, faith, unbelief and their results. These 21 stories are true to the Scriptures. Background information has been added from other stories and Scriptures to set them in context and make them life giving to people in the twenty first century. Some biblical references are added so you can check them out in your Bible. They are in biblical order: Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Ruth, Samuel, David, Solomon, Elijah, Elisha, Esther, Job, Daniel, Jonah, John the Baptist, the five Herods of the N.T. , Peter, the Emmaus Road disciples, Paul, and Satan. The story of Satan covers the Bible from Genesis 3 to Revelation 20. I put him last. It is my hope and prayer that God will breathe on these stories taken from Holy Scriptures and will make them alive and give added meaning to your life's story.
