About this title

Synopsis:

Robert Hines has a gift for bringing scripture down to earth where families bicker, where men and women get stressed out, where children fight over a toy, where reality is stranger than fiction. And into each situation he brings the hard-hitting message of the prophets.

Fascinating narrative stories and illustrations make this book great reading and an excellent resource for stimulating preaching.

Chapters include:
Buying Swamp Land For God (Jeremiah 32:1-3a, 6-15)
Accepting Responsibility (Lamentations 1:1-6)
Coping With Heartache (Jeremiah 29:1, 4-7)
Permission To Daydream (Joel 2:23-32)
Possession Is Nine-tenths Of The Law (Daniel 7:1-3, 15-18)
The Burdens Of The Past (Haggai 1:15b--2:9)
Remembering Who We Are and more! (Deuteronomy 26:1-11)
