What does real faith look like in day-to-day life?
What does it feel like when life is messy and chaotic and you don't have clear answers?
Retold: Heart Journeys wades deep into the waters of these questions by looking at the lives of some of the women in the Bible.
If Eve was alive today, what would her temptation be, and how would she handle it?
What would be the test of will for Shiphrah and Puah, the Hebrew midwives if they were bankers instead and their 'Pharoah' was a senior manager with a grudge?
The book challenges us to get in between the lines of scripture and feel what these women felt, live in their experiences for a time and come out realizing that the Bible is full of imperfect people, navigating difficult lives while leaning on a perfect God who doesn't always do things the way we want Him to.
The people in the Biblical narrative aren't 'saints' in the way we sometime idealise them to be. They were humans living regular lives.
Retold: Heart Journeys pulls their stories into the 21st century and shows us what it would look like if they lived today. It turns out that their lives would look a lot like ours do right now.
