'Catherine opens up the world of the Bible in glorious shades and images as she brings alive the stories of six people. With grace and truth, she shows how God didnt give up on them and how he doesnt give up on us. I especially appreciate how she reaches our hearts through the narrative and our minds with her teaching. Read, ponder, and savour this delightful, trustworthy, and powerful book. You wont regret it.' -- Amy Boucher Pye, author of 7 Ways to Pray 'Catherine is an extraordinary woman. She is that women who is acquainted with grief and loss, but her life is much richer than the stories we know about her. Throughout the beautiful retelling of biblical narrative in this book, she shows us that this is also the case for characters like Abigail, John Mark and Judah. Words like abuse, failure, guilt, and ageing are turned around in our Creators hand. Catherine and these characters teach us about not giving up and trusting God for the rest of our stories.' -- Debbie Duncan, author of Gifted 'This book is as informative and inspiring as we have come to expect from Catherine Campbell. Giving us a fresh insight into a selection of Biblical characters, she draws us into a new understanding of the God who spans history and his impact on our lives. This is a book for reading and reflecting. You will want to go back and reread it anytime you find yourself struggling and in need of encouragement. The practical questions for further study are ideal for individual or group study.' -- Jean Gibson, author of Journey of Hope
