Old Testament Stories From the Back Side

Using an approach similar to that in his book *Parables from the Back Side,* popular author J. Ellsworth Kalas brings a new perspective to selected Old Testament stories by approaching them from the back side-through a unique starting point, a creative retelling, a new lens, or the eyes of a minor or unsympathetic character.

Chapter titles and Scripture: The Second Sin (Genesis 3:1-13); The Importance of Naming Joseph (Genesis 30:22-24); Because My Mother Told Me (Exodus 2:1-10); Moses' Midlife Crisis (Exodus 2:11-22); Patron Saint of the Minority Report (Numbers 13:1-3, 25-33); Tragic Son, Tragic Father (Judges 11:1-6, 30-35); Honey in the Lion (Judges 14:5-14); Beauty and the Beast (1 Samuel 25:2-42); A Refugee at the King's Table (2 Samuel 9:1-13); In Defense of Job's Wife (Job 2:1-10); Jonah's Christmas Story (Jonah 3:1-6, 10; Matthew 12:38-42); God Is Better Than His Plans (Ruth 1:1-5; 4:13-17).
