I agree that it had a different tone and that it might be difficult to name one passage favourite, David and Goliath is an excellent selection.Benthic wrote: ↑03 Aug 2019, 13:40 It's difficult to name tone the favorites to one. I really love David and Goliath, Daniel in Lion's Den and Cain and Abel too. It could be a bit weird but Noah's flood was a little too close to heart I suppose but it really resonates the thought of if you want to truly change something you must destroy it and then give it a fresh start

He also did an amazing job highlighting envy and perseverance as additional themes, excellent selection.Stephanie Elizabeth wrote: ↑04 Aug 2019, 09:18 My favorite passage was the one about Cain and Abel. I think Greenwood does a great job describing the extreme jealousy that Cain felt.

I also liked this story about Cain and Abel. I have always had a lot of questions about this story? The author went into a lot of detail about the characters' motivations.Stephanie Elizabeth wrote: ↑04 Aug 2019, 09:18 My favorite passage was the one about Cain and Abel.

I also really enjoyed this story! I enjoyed reading it from a new perspective and having the author delve deeper into the themes of the story. In the bible, I've always wished there was a bit more said about it.Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑07 Aug 2019, 01:54Yes, in the story of Cain and Abel the author went out of his way to discover themes like envy and perseverance and I gained a lot from this retelling.Jsovermyer wrote: ↑06 Aug 2019, 22:23I also liked this story about Cain and Abel.

The parting of the Red Sea was too fantastical for me to imagine. It always seemed like an Avatar Ang feat, but it is a great selection.
