It is a book of people stories, some of which we have heard from childhood. But those stories often came off as all white or beige. A "deeper-dive" reveals how colorful and even unexpectedly flawed some heroes were. But the silver string that ties them all together is the image of the unseen but ever-present, forgiving God whose love is absolutely unremitting. This book highlights, not the flawed humans, but how the God of grace related to such humans--and continues to do so.
