New Book Explores Dozens of Biblical Stories and Applies Lessons to Real Life
MACOMB, Ill. (PRWEB) June 19, 2019 -- Eric Ribbens’ biblical reflections build on stories from the Bible and encourage heartfelt discussion and contemplation about God’s influence and his lessons that still apply in today’s world in Ribbens’ new book, “Eddies of His Breath: Contemplations of the Word” (published by Archway Publishing).
Ribbens builds possible scenarios around 40 some Bible stories and ponders what could have been the story behind what is in the Bible. While sticking to what people know from the Bible, he imagines and contemplates various emotions and asks discussion questions about them. For example, the story looks at an old Sarah who is sorry, asking what she is sorry about and what she can do about it. The author also explores how the story can be applied to people’s lives today.
“I think that anyone interested in thoughtful Biblical readings will enjoy it,” Ribbens says. “It will grab your attention and challenge you to think about yourself in the context of the Bible story. For example, are you angry? What can you do about it?”
