  These eight imaginative retellings of Bible stories - some familiar, some less well-known - bring to life people who, like so many today, struggle in their personal relationships. The stories include notable Bible characters as well as imaginative constructs of those appearing only in passing (or not named at all). Readers learn from the characters' experiences - the choices they face, the emotions they wrestle with. Stories featured are Adam and Eve, Joseph and Asenath, Manoah and Haggith (Sampson's parents), Ruth and Boaz, Job and Jemimah, Hosea and Gomer, Mary and Joseph, and Peter and Miriam.
