Turnabout Tales

- Scriptural People in Symmetrical Poems

Bag om Turnabout Tales

72 symmetrical poems encapsulate the lives of historical characters, as revealed in the Bible. At the center of each 7-line poem lies a semi-colon, at which the person's life makes a turn for the better, or in some cases the worse, following an encounter with God. An hour-glass icon is repeated throughout the book. Scriptural references allow for further study, and questions at the end invite a response. In the Old Testament, meet Adam, Eve, Lucifer, Cain, Noah, Abraham, Melchizedek, Lot, Hagar, Rebekah, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Miriam, Joshua, Deborah, Gideon, Samson, Ruth, Hannah, Samuel, David, Mephibosheth, Elijah, Elisha, Cyrus, Esther, Job, Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Nebuchadnezzar, Nehemiah, Ezekiel, Shadrach, Daniel, and Jonah.
