This book contains a series of 27 essays about biblical figures and/or spiritual issues. Most would fall in the 600 to 800 word range and could be read and considered in a comparatively short time. The articles are written in what might be called an editorial style, wherein a proposition is posited, scriptural detail is added, and a conclusion is reached. Many essays end with what some might consider novel points, but always well within the accepted doctrines of evangelical Christianity.
