Description
Bible characters and events, but not quite as we know them!
Laugh your way through the Old and New Testaments with this recently-discovered haul of dubious (but surprisingly insightful) letters. Packed with discussion notes, historical explanations, and ideas for practical application.
Noah is reprimanded by the maritime authority. Delilah writes to complain about a faulty batch of rope. Jonah seeks compensation for unsafe working conditions. Joseph retracts his divorce application. A wine merchant tries to cash in on a new rabbi's lucrative talent, and temple stallholders express concern about a Passover ruckus. Judas writes to seek legal advice, and the Apostle John canvasses a well-known publisher for a book deal.

Person
After decades accumulating a collection of obscure facts, figures and stories, Stuart Watt now shares them with razor-sharp wit in his book, Forty Fake and Phoney Letters. He writes from his rather cramped study which he shares with six hundred books, a stuffed pheasant, several old cameras, and his late father's souvenir German alpine mountain hat. He is inspired by heroes of the faith such as Eric Liddell, Amy Carmichael, George Grenfell and those 'tough as old boots' missionaries, Adoniram Judson and C. T. Studd. Stuart lives in Palmerston North, New Zealand.
