{"product_id":"turnabout-tales-hazel-spire-9798851802447","title":"Turnabout Tales: Scriptural People in Symmetrical Poems","description":"72 symmetrical poems encapsulate the lives of historical characters, as revealed in the Bible. At the center of each 7-line poem lies a semi-colon, at which the person's life makes a turn for the better, or in some cases the worse, following an encounter with God. An hour-glass icon is repeated throughout the book. Scriptural references allow for further study, and questions at the end invite a response. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the Old Testament, meet Adam, Eve, Lucifer, Cain, Noah, Abraham, Melchizedek, Lot, Hagar, Rebekah, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Miriam, Joshua, Deborah, Gideon, Samson, Ruth, Hannah, Samuel, David, Mephibosheth, Elijah, Elisha, Cyrus, Esther, Job, Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Nebuchadnezzar, Nehemiah, Ezekiel, Shadrach, Daniel, and Jonah. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNew Testament: Zechariiah, Mary, Joseph, Herod, Simeon \u0026amp; Anna, John the Baptist, Yeshua, Peter, Levi, Madman, a 12-year-old girl, .a boy who shared, Mary Magdalene, Zacchaeus, Nicodemus, a woman at the well, a cripple, a blind man, Mary \u0026amp; Martha, Judas, Pilate, Stephen, an Ethiopian, Paul, Dorcas, Cornelius, Barnabas, Lydia, a Philippian jailer, \u003cbr\u003eTimothy, Apollos, Felix, Onesimus, and John the beloved.. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere's the basic format for a \"diamante\" shaped poem: \u003cbr\u003eLine 1. noun\u003cbr\u003eL2. two or three word description, fact or event\u003cbr\u003eL3. three verbs (ing words)\u003cbr\u003eL4. two amplifying words + semi-colon + 2 \"shift\" words \u003cbr\u003eL5. three verbs (ing words)\u003cbr\u003eL6. two or three words description or development\u003cbr\u003eL7. noun \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEXAMPLES (EACH POEM WOULD BE CENTERED ON THE PAGE FOR SYMMETRY): \u003cbr\u003eSolomon\u003cbr\u003eDavid's son\u003cbr\u003eruling, wisdom-asking, proverb-writing\u003cbr\u003etemple complete; turned to idols\u003cbr\u003eexpanding, importing, harem-building\u003cbr\u003ekingdom split\u003cbr\u003eapostate\u003cbr\u003e.................................................................\u003cbr\u003eEsther\u003cbr\u003ebeauty contest\u003cbr\u003epurifiying, primping, pampering\u003cbr\u003ecrowned queen; Haman's plot\u003cbr\u003efasting, interceding, banqueting\u003cbr\u003escepter extended\u003cbr\u003echampion\u003cbr\u003e................................................................\u003cbr\u003eCarpenter\u003cbr\u003eDavid's lineage\u003cbr\u003elaw-abiding, agonizing, pondering\u003cbr\u003eMary's state; divine assurance\u003cbr\u003eshielding, marrying, refraining\u003cbr\u003eearthly father\u003cbr\u003eJoseph\u003cbr\u003e.................................................................\u003cbr\u003eSaul\u003cbr\u003eTarsus tent-maker\u003cbr\u003eChrist-cursing, threatening, arresting\u003cbr\u003eself-righteous Pharisee; struck blind\u003cbr\u003esurrendering, corresponding, seafaring\u003cbr\u003elight to the Gentiles\u003cbr\u003ePaul\u003cbr\u003e...............................................................\u003cbr\u003eLydia\u003cbr\u003efrom Thyatira\u003cbr\u003edyeing, buying, selling\u003cbr\u003epurple cloth; women at river\u003cbr\u003eworshipping, welcoming, talking\u003cbr\u003efirst European\u003cbr\u003econvert\u003cbr\u003e................................................................\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hazel Spire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798851802447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Hazel Spire","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852114014463,"sku":"9798851802447","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/turnabout-tales-hazel-spire-9798851802447","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
