This new collection of short stories visits the lives of Moses, David, Elijah, Jonah, Daniel, Jesus, Paul, Peter and others, often through the eyes of people who knew them. Eleven stories from the Old Testament matched with eleven from the New Testament, using contributions from three authors who love the Bible.

"Some tell of little-known Bible characters, while others concentrate on an incident in the life of one of the more famous Bible characters.
Share the experiences of people who met the prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel; consider how God’s curse dogged the rebuilding of Jericho; see Jesus as his family saw him; marvel at the faith of a woman who was sure that just touching Jesus’ clothes would heal her.
Have you ever wondered how Hosea came to marry a prostitute? Hosea’s Story might offer you an answer, and get you thinking more about the patience of God.
Meet Jacob and his children, King Manasseh, Gehazi, Joseph of Arimathea, Elymas and many others as they recount their experiences for you.
Each micro-tale will give you something to think about.

"A first book of Bible-based micro-tales
“Fiction Favours the Facts” is a collection of the first 22 micro-tales from the Bible Tales Newsletter.
Micro-tales? What are they? Short stories about Bible characters or events.
Bible-based fiction – the facts of the Bible rounded out with imaginative detail to help us recognise the lives and feelings of real people.
Some are about Bible characters you have never heard of, while others concentrate on an incident in the life of one of the more famous Bible characters.
Cain and Abel, Noah and his family, Moses and Aaron, Daniel, Ebed-Melech, Mark, Peter, Paul and Silas and Judas Iscariot share their experiences with us. Lives from long ago are made real so that we can share their difficulties, triumphs and failures – and expand our own understanding of what makes our life worthwhile to God.
In “Fiction Favours the Facts” Old Testament heroes interact with ordinary people and we learn their lessons of hospitality and faith.
Even the life of the most famous traitor – Judas Iscariot – is opened for us to look at in a possible reconstruction of how he became a traitor.
A wide variety of Biblical characters walk across the pages of this book and each micro-tale gives us something to think about. Lives presented by the Bible in just a few words are thoughtfully expanded, tinted with colour and life – but without straying from God’s word.
