Foreword
Take a look in the mirror
Maybe you're thinking: what use do I have for stories thousands of years old? Stories about men in long robes, vast deserts, camels and wooden boats?
But if you read closely, those people from long ago look exactly like you and me. They were sometimes scared in the dark, grew jealous of someone else, wanted to be in charge, or simply didn't know what to do.
Stories from the Bible might look like old fairy tales. But I like to think of them as mirrors instead. A mirror doesn't judge and doesn't give advice — it only shows you what's there.
How does this book work?
Reading and reflecting
Every chapter has two screens. First you read an old story, and discover what's really going on in it.
Swipe to the next screen, and we bring the story into your own life. Into the playground, the classroom, the back seat.
And at the bottom are a few questions. There's no right answer. And there's no one who needs to hear yours.
In the menu you'll also find "My Story": your own place to write, kept only on your own device.
Grab the mirror. What do you see when you look into it?
Every story also comes with a line from the jester. Don't pay him any mind — he's a bit nasty, and hasn't learned a single one of this book's lessons.
