I have loved the Old Testament and its stories longer than I can remember. Somewhere in the photographs of my memory is a book my mother read to me, from a day and a world when there were not many books and when pictures and typography were not naturally attractive; yet this book captured me, and we came back to it again and again - a child's book of Bible stories, most of them from the Old Testament.

The second sun.

Importance of naming Joseph.

Because my mother told me.

Moses' midlife crisis.

Patron saint of the minority report.

Tragic son, tragic father.

Honey in the lion.

Beauty and the beast.

Jonah's christmas story.

God is better than his plans.
