Here are ten Bible stories as they have never been told before, featuring a selection of famous, infamours and little-known-but-wicked biblical characters. Some, such as greedy Gehazi, are funny. Others, like power-mad Herod are sinister. And some, such as Zacchaeus, are reformed baddies. Their dastardly deeds, pride, ruthlessness and misuse of power are vividly recounted with pace and humour (as appropriate). Some are good 'come-uppance' stories, others show God's redemptive love and compassion to the worst of 'baddies'. 'It has the same appeal as the Horrible Histories series and serves for children who might otherwise ignore it.' The Bookseller 'An exciting collection.' The Church Times 'A set of spirited short stories...humorous and energetic. 12-year-olds who reject pious retellings will enjoy them.' The Daily Telegraph
