Author Description

A guide to the Bible -- from who wrote it and why it was written to the disciples, the parables, the miracles, the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, the new age of Peter and Paul and the Revelations -- written for teens.-- The teen audience is poised for growth, according to trade publishers; a five-page article on publishing for teens appeared in the 10/23/00 issue of Publishers Weekly.-- As also noted in PW, teens are flocking to self-help titles.-- A number of teen study Bibles are selling very well, but they are focused more on the born-again teen, and our book would reach teens who might not be attracted to them.Coverage includes: the storytellers, ghostwriters, and editors of the Bible -- and what is a testament, a gospel, and a beatitude exactly?; the Sermon on the Mount -- Jesus's teachings on everything from lust to the power of prayer; the duties of the disciples -- foot washing and so much more; parables -- finding faith, locating the lost, and building the kingdom; miracles vs. fear, vs. demons, vs. nature; the stages of the trial of Jesus; the building of the Church, and the coming of a new age.
