1/ Cathy, who or what prompted you to write this book?
I've hungered to read about Biblical characters in a dimensional way that helped me relate to them as real-time people who had dirty fingernails and dysfunctional thinking(!) I've yearned to climb into the skin of the needy Jesus encountered, come to know their back-stories, and experience his power in rewriting their future-stories...and mine!
2/ What makes this book stand out from others on the subject?
In the time it takes to have a cup of coffee, these "bite-size" short stories allow readers to experience "in-their-shoes" encounters of real, historical individuals with the living Christ, and be transformed along with them in their understanding of themselves, others and God.
3/ How will readers benefit in a practical way from reading this book?
By fleshing out the personal (hypothetical) stories of biblical personalities, readers like you will experience the profound personal drama of human identification. As these characters become three-dimensional, you will be able to bring your own sufferings and joys to Christ with fresh hope for the same kind of change you see happened with those in the Scripture.
4/ What makes you an authority on the subject of this book?
With my training in screenwriting, I'm equipped to be visually aware of the setting, tone and dramatic flow of a scene and work in revelatory spiritual insights from my 25 years in the area of emotional/inner healing. As a certified professional life coach, I daily "climb into the skins" of clients and hear their stories. These practices have enabled me to ask specific, latchkey questions of biblical characters and help readers mine the experience these historical personalities have to offer us today.
