Feats of Courage
In this second instalment of short stories based on biblical events, we look into some of the lesser known heroes of the Bible. People who are mentioned in passing, who take up only a page or two in the scriptures, but nevertheless play a role in teaching us lessons, need to be acknowledged. Their contribution may pale in comparison to some of the better known heroes like David and Moses, but its all of those people who shaped what we are today. In particular this book aims at demonstrating the courage it took to go against the flow during these times. Again using the context of biblical time, this is a follow-up to the first book Facing the Elements, that saw the scriptures not only as stories but as real events. The book is separated into four themes: men, women, small groups and large groups or clans. In the authors usual habit, the twelve stories are followed by a bonus which makes for the bakers dozen. This time a song attributable to Nehemiah is the subject.

Facing the Elements
We often see Bible stories as just that; stories. We forget that these are real accounts of past events. We are often oblivious to the fact that people of the Bible had personalities, emotions, skills and flaws. In these short stories, some of those people come to life. By putting ourselves in their shoes, we relate to them better. When the Bible talks about people dying in the Great Flood, we forget that every one of those caught up in the deluge were human beings. To simply regroup them as part of a race of sinners is a simplification of the magnitude of this event. When we examine a little closer one of these lives, the flood takes on a new significance. Using the elements as the foundation of these twelve stories, the author demonstrates the real struggles these people had to cope with in biblical times.
