Description
To many of us, reading the Bible can feel awkward and off-putting, and its stories quite inaccessible.
Through imaginative retellings, The Jar & The Jug offers ways in, to the intriguing or impenetrable, heart-warming or horrendous, alien or alluring happenings we meet in the Bible. These retellings are written to deepen our curiosity so that we stay a while with the people and events described. Because these are our stories, and when we get inside them and they get inside us, life can be the richer for it.
In the case of many of the stories, the author has provided two versions - one for adults and one for children.
Everything in this book began as a contribution to 'Spill the Beans', the Scottish-flavoured worship and learning resources for all ages.
The Jar & The Jug will be followed by The Soldiers & The Cloak: Retelling Bible stories (New Testament).
