The Word on the Street, Softcover Author: Rob Lacey Retail Price: $14.99 Our Price: $11.99 Save: 3.00 (20.01%) Availability: In Stock        Rob Lacey's 'dangerously real' retelling of Scripture vividly demonstrates that the Bible is packed full of stories/poems/images that resonate with the big issues of today. This fresh paraphrase with running commentary brings the text alive: Bible stories are retold as mini-blockbusters; psalms as song lyrics; epistles as email; Revelation as virtual reality. Out with the stale religious terms, here's a 'Bible' that talks today's language--gritty, earthy, witty. Enough of starting at Genesis with good intentions but getting lost in Leviticus. Lacey succeeds in revitalizing a classic work by focusing on the big picture: fast-forwarding through the 'slow-moving' bits with pace, passion and energy to make the Bible a page-turner again. What's more, Lacey's award-winning tour de force was created during a remarkable personal journey through terminal cancer: the stuff Bible stories are make of. This life-experience injects Lacey's take on Scripture with authenticity and authority--resonating with Bible characters who also wrestled with the big questions. While this is not 'The Bible' with a capital 'B', it just might get you reaching for one! Softcover Similar Items you may enjoy!
