The Bible

I sometimes forget how exciting the Bible really is. Have been reading a book by Francine Rivers about Jonathan. She basically takes the story of Jonathan from the Bible, and makes it a little more readable - like a novel. I find it so fascinating that these stories survived. And when you see how the people lived back then... It's SO different to how we live now. Their worldviews, their ideas about God - it's all so different - sometimes even disturbing. It's difficult to try and put ourselves in their shoes - but luckily I have a very wise and knowledgeable theologian as a husband that sheds much light on my pressing questions.
