Cheers for the hero! Jeers for the villain! It's that easy, right? Wisdom can mean learning from another person's mistakes. Consider the Pharaoh - this villain whose tale of wickedness is recounted in the Torah, the Bible, and the Qur'an. The cruel king wielded his terrifying power over enslaved peoples and was punished with divine plagues. Rather than examining ancient writings, this charming volume travels through the great questions of character and suffering, then explores the story of this villain. Is there something Pharaoh can teach us about life? Written in a friendly, conversational style, this little journey is marked with relatable examples from real life. Suehr's wry sense of humor is a constant companion through light-hearted moments and stark, solemn truths. Come along and discover who this Pharaoh was, who you are, and who you can be.
