Do you ever wonder what the people in the Bible were like? In James 5:17, talking about one of them called Elijah, James says he was 'just like us'. What is true of Elijah is true of all Bible characters. They may have lived thousands of years ago and lived in a country thousands of miles from most of us, but in essence they were just like us.This book aims to get to know some of them. Their stories are extremely interesting and hugely relevant. Some of their lives serve as warnings, while others as examples and encouragements. And refreshingly and authentically, the Bible presents them 'warts and all'.

The book is written in a clear and accessible way for all ages and stages and should interest you whether you are a Christian who wants to learn more about these characters or somebody who has never met them before.
