by Michael Braswell (Author)
How would you feel if you were Esau and your brother Jacob had stolen your birthright? What impact would Jesus's intervention have on the rest of your life if you were the adulteress he rescued from the mob ready to stone her? If Peter and Judas accidentally met on the night before the resurrection of Christ, what do you think they would say to each other? Interview with Joab, a collection of 15 scripture-based ""what-if"" stories, offers the reader an opportunity to reflect on and discuss well-known Bible stories in a fresh, thought-provoking way. The brief commentaries and questions following each story are designed for personal and small group study. These biblical ""what-ifs"" demonstrate the relevance of these timeless truths and God's lessons for contemporary individuals, families, and communities.
