Stories from the Sidelines
The pages of the Bible are full of ordinary people placed in extraordinary circumstances that we often overlook or forget.
Stories From the Sidelines offers a refreshing exploration of biblical narratives focusing on characters who played supporting roles rather than the heroes we know and love.
Through imaginative retellings, this book explores the lives of various Old and New Testament characters, such as Noah's sons, Job's wife, Apollos, and the women of the early church. Each story is followed by an application, highlighting the relevance of these ancient accounts in today's world. Readers will encounter characters who may be new to them, like Huldah or the sons of Hassenaah. What was it like to be the younger brother of Joseph or the oldest brother of King David? Two scouts went ahead of Israel into the Promised Land. Joshua became their leader, but the other scout's faithfulness to God is worth remembering.
Stories From the Sidelines challenges readers to appreciate the depth and complexity of biblical figures often relegated to the margins. It provides insights into human nature and moral choices, encouraging readers to reflect on their own lives and the often-unsung influences around them and is a compelling invitation to rediscover the richness of biblical stories through the eyes of those who stood on the sidelines but whose lives still offer valuable lessons today.
