About This Item
Mild toning, else content appears as unopened, unread and unblemished with fine red cloth covered boards displaying no significant surface/edge wear in DJ displaying minimal surface/edge wear as shown. Reinforced chipping at head of spine.
"She writes about the ancient Hebrews, the story tellers and the poets, so persuasively and engagingly that we see the Old Testament afresh. In line after line, passage after passage, words ring with new meaning."
This book is definitely dated, yet the author's writing style is wonderful. It simply flows. And it is great reading for someone who doesn't have a lot of background with the Bible. Chase makes the Bible accessible and she makes the narratives come alive! This is especially true of her writing on the Hebrew Scriptures. This book is a great primer for getting into the Hebrew Scriptures.
Amos Smith (author of Healing The Divide: Recovering Christianity's Mystic Roots)
