Now in one bumper e-pub volume: 21 gripping stories about some of the Bible's most infamous villains

Retold with Bob Hartman's insight and wit, some of these tales are funny, others are sinister. And some feature reformed baddies. Their dastardly deeds, pride, ruthlessness and misuse of power are vividly recreated. There are also 'come-uppance' stories and, last but not least, those showing God's compassion for the worst of 'baddies'. 'Baddies' include Pharoh, David, Jonah, Herod, Zacchaeus, Pilate, Peter, Jacob, Goliath, Judas and Paul.

'...has the same appeal as the Horrible Histories series and serves as a brilliant introduction to the Bible for children who might otherwise ignore it.' The Bookseller

Retold with Bob Hartman's insight and wit, some of these tales are funny, others are sinister. And some feature reformed baddies. Their dastardly deeds, pride, ruthlessness and misuse of power are vividly recreated. There are also 'come-uppance' stories and, last but not least, those showing God's compassion for the worst of 'baddies'. 'Baddies' include Pharoh, David, Jonah, Herod, Zacchaeus, Pilate, Peter, Jacob, Goliath, Judas and Paul. ' - has the same appeal as the Horrible Histories series and serves as a brilliant introduction to the Bible for children who might otherwise ignore it.' The Bookseller

Ten vivid stories of the Bible's most colourful villains and anti-heroes. Great for boys.

Here are ten Bible stories as they have never been told before, featuring a selection of famous, infamours and little-known-but-wicked biblical characters. Some, such as greedy Gehazi, are funny. Others, like power-mad Herod are sinister. And some, such as Zacchaeus, are reformed baddies. Their dastardly deeds, pride, ruthlessness and misuse of power are vividly recounted with pace and humour (as appropriate). Some are good 'come-uppance' stories, others show God's redemptive love and compassion to the worst of 'baddies'. 'It has the same appeal as the Horrible Histories series and serves for children who might otherwise ignore it.' The Bookseller 'An exciting collection.' The Church Times 'A set of spirited short stories...humorous and energetic. 12-year-olds who reject pious retellings will enjoy them.' The Daily Telegraph
