Book Description

The pages of the Bible are filled with stories of people: parents and children, warriors and prophets, saints and scoundrels, women and men, labourers and kings. Despite the often difficult-to-pronounce names, they were real people, just like you. They each had a role - large or small, for good or for ill - in God's unfolding plan of salvation, and there are great spiritual lessons we can learn from their lives. This resource is a comprehensive, accessible guide to these players in God's drama. It contains a listing for every person named in the Bible - over 2000 of them - with extensive entries for major Bible figures. Whether for personal devotional study or for preparing sermons or Bible studies, you will turn again and again to this helpful reference tool.
