Overview

OOPS! For every good and holy act in the Bible, it seems like there are two boneheaded ones. And in 43 Mistakes, Mishaps and MONUMENTAL Screw-ups of Men and Women in the Bible, Thomas J. Craughwell tells the story of the Bible (and our salvation history) through those fools and sinners who just couldn t seem to do anything right. The mistakes and mishaps include: Lucifer thrown from Heaven, Adam and Eve after the apple, Pharaoh at the Red Sea, Samson and Delilah, the Prodigal Son, St. Peter walking on water, Jesus and the money-changers, and so much more. This hilarious retelling of 43 of the most forehead-smacking biblical tales will have you rolling on the floor, but it will also move you to your knees, as Craughwell expertly uses the mistakes of our spiritual ancestors to help us avoid the same missteps and to illuminate God s path for us. With over 30 illlustrations.
