cted stories from the entire Bible, readers discover many insights of the person of God and how He patiently and lovingly works in and through His people. Moses asked God, "Show me Your Glory." So the Lord, concealed by a cloud. passed by Moses and revealed His moral attributes--holy, righteous, compassionate, gracious, and abounding in loving kindness and truth (integrity to His own moral character). God also forgives iniquity (perversity), transgression (rebellion against God and His morals), God forgives sin (missing the target God sets for us). God is slow to anger, yet He will punish the guilty (those who refuse to repent and to acknowledge Him as Savior and Lord).

The author seeks to tell the stories in ways that are true to Scripture; all stories have many quotes from Scripture. The author also seeks to read between the lines and to reveal history, settings, beliefs, and emotions. Such things help anchor the stories to real life and enable readers relate God's stories to their own lives. While reading the OT stories, readers will experience "mini revelations," as God interacts with different people, situations, and cultures. Thus, readers are prepared for God's full revelation of Himself in Jesus. As readers enter the NT stories of Jesus, they grow close to Him. Then the crucifixion, resurrection and ascension of Jesus makes many ask, "What now?" Then the Holy Spirit bursts on the scene, just like Jesus promised. As readers continue through the stories of Acts and Apostles, they discover the spread of faith and the growth of the church. Those Bible stories become pieces of a big puzzle revealing the person of God and His eternal plan for us. That realization begins to take over the readers' hearts and minds.

The author prays that this book will be discovered by Christians whose spiritual growth has been stopped due to their confusion and fear brought about by the growing culture of unbelief in our nation. The church is under siege across the world. However, God is God, and His word guarantees victory.
