Description
Stories have always been one of God's primary ways of revealing truth to us in His Word! The Old Testament is filled with stories which, if we only read them as we have been accustomed to reading stories, we may not experience the joyous discoveries intended for us. Pratt shows the reader how to understand and apply cross-culturally and to span the gap of language and centuries.
