A Verse And A Half: For the Barzillais of This Generation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798181201323)

WHO IS BARZILLAI?

You have read past him a hundred times. An old man who carried bread to a hungry king in the wilderness, asked for nothing, and vanished in half a chapter. Scripture never forgot him.

The Bible is full of such people. Each is given a single verse, or a verse and a half, and yet the whole story would not have held together without them. A Verse and a Half gathers 28 of these overlooked saints: the midwives who defied a Pharaoh, the slave girl whose mercy healed her captor, the armourbearer with no name at all. It asks who they were, and what hung on their faithfulness that they never lived to see.

Somewhere in these pages you will recognize someone. Perhaps yourself.

The names the world forgets, heaven remembers.
