God's Honorable Mentions: Minor Players Who Impacted Bible Events - Paperback

by Peter Dell (Illustrator), Jim Cole-Rous (Author)

When the Holy Spirit leads an inspired writer to record someone's name in the Bible, there is a story of courage and tenacity; or infamy and duplicity that we can learn from. In God's Honorable Mentions, you will meet people who played a role in the events recorded in scripture. Here is the story of Judas Iscariot and his father; looking at why Judas betrayed Jesus. Meet the mysterious Melchisedek, and find out why Abraham gave him such deference. Over 50 minor players are presented as found in the Bible. We look at who they were and why they acted as they did. There is usually a story behind the story; and he set out to find this motivating force that made them significant. Here are references to people barely mentioned, their genealogy and many fun facts you may not have known. These were real people facing the same challenges you and I make every day. For the sake of helping you keep track of relationships, the author has attempted to present each person in this book in chronological order, as far as is possible. Obviously he have had to go beyond the pages of scripture to find some information about these people, but he did so cautiously, giving due consideration to the source from which his information was derived.
