A sword plunged to the heart into a super-fat king's blubber, a bloke getting killed by lightning, coldblooded murder, tons of people drowning, scary skin diseases, famines, earthquakes. Loads of gross and gory things happened in Bible times! Here are 50 of the goriest.

Among this colourful collection are the stories of Cain and Abel, Abraham and Isaac, Moses and his rebellious relations, David and Goliath and Judas Iscariot.

As in 50 Weirdest Bible Stories and 50 Craziest Bible Stories, each story in this book has a cliff-hanger ending and points to a Bible passage for readers to look up to find out what happened next.

A great introduction to the wildest stories of the Bible and to the God who works even the wild things into His plans and purposes.
