Krazy Kinfolk Exploring Dysfunctional Families of the Bible

In Krazy Kinfolk, her new, user-friendly book, Essex continues in the tradition of her popular series of Bible studies. Each study unit reviews the stories of selected biblical "dysfunctional" families such as: 1) Abraham, Sarah and Hagar; 2) Jacob, Leah and Rachel; 3) Moses, Miriam and Aaron; 4) Lois, Eunice and Timothy; 5) Mordecai and Esther; and 6) Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. A historical/critical explanation of the text follows each review and provides background information to help make the story accessible and understandable to modern readers. Reflection questions conclude each unit, offering participants the opportunity to start a discussion about what can be learned from these characters and their stories. Ideal for individual and/or group study.Essex, Barbara J. is the author of 'Krazy Kinfolk Exploring Dysfunctional Families of the Bible', published 2005 under ISBN 9780829816549 and ISBN 0829816542.
