Produktbeschreibung
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. Malinda Fugate's excellent examination of those who are supporting players, not the super stars, is fascinating reading. Stories from the Sidelines reveals accounts of lesser-known people in the Bible as well as provides alternate perspectives to familiar narratives. Each chapter begins with a detailed retelling of Scripture, including available historical context and employing prayerful imagination to bring it to life. Highly recommended. -Eva Shaw, Ph.D., Author The Seer, The Finder and The Pursuer Through these imaginatively rendered stories, Malinda invites us to believe that even when we feel sidelined, God sees us and has a purpose for our lives. Step onto the dusty roads walked by these oft-forgotten Bible characters and be reminded that God also walks with you. There is much wisdom in these pages. -Sarah L. Sanderson, Author The Place We Make If you've ever wondered about your place in God's plan or heard stories of heroic faith and felt like you could never measure up, this book is for you. Malinda Fugate will take you on an eye-opening tour of the "sidelines" in Scripture, highlighting stories of overlooked characters in a way that will shift your whole perspective. You'll learn why sometimes the sidelines are exactly where we belong and why that's something to celebrate. -Gina Dalfonzo, Author Dorothy and Jack: The Transforming Friendship of Dorothy L. Sayers and C. S. Lewis
