Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The story behind the Book of Acts has never been told in such a way before. Full of poetry, skits, mimes, jokes and riddles, magic tricks and juggling - it is still very much a clear and detailed retelling of the Book of Acts. All these features of this historical fiction add color and laughter to this wonderful story.The book has a clown disciple of Jesus now travelling with Peter and Paul. 'Splinter' the clown, records the events he witnesses through the lens of a clown. All the stories of Acts are retold in that way. This is not just an entertaining way of reading that New Testament book - it is a creative expression in itself, that inspires the reader to embrace their own uniqueness and their own special talents and gifting, and to use that with enthusiasm and passion.What adds a whole other dimension to this story is that we are not simply reading a fun filled 'dance' through the Book of Acts. We are also getting a cleverly written commentary on that Biblical book at the same time. Splinter's reflections on the much loved stories (Peter's escape from prison; Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus; the great shipwreck near the end of the book; etc), as well as the 'difficult' passages (Ananias and Sapphira's deaths; the argument between Paul and Barnabas; and more) is heartfelt and compelling. The author has a clever way of forcing us to reflect on deep theological insights - without us even knowing that we are doing so.The entertaining illustrations by artist Glenn Hibburt break up the text and add another dimension of color and laughter to the story. This is definitely the most fun way imaginable to read the incredible stories of the Book of Acts.…
