He also is a musician – playing the saxophone! James’ books include BOOK OF PRAYERS, CHRISTIAN PRINCIPAL GUIDES, DIVINE INSPIRATION FOR DAILY LIVING, SUCCESS EXPRESS LANE, WHO WAS JESUS, REALLY?, BIBLE GIANTS OF FAITH, BIBLE APPLICATION LESSONS AND PRAYERS, THE PINNACLE OF COMPASSION and now THE ANCIENT HOUSES OF EGYPT.This new book revisits the Bible in a manner that allows the reader to be present in the history of how the Israelites came to be under the yoke of the Egyptians and how they were freed from slavery by Moses. James has created a format that makes the history immediate – a script that can be interactive with friends and groups. As he phrases it ‘First, we weave the story of Joseph, with his many-colored coat, his brothers’ treachery and his bondage and ascension to glory. Then, we move to the saga of Moses, with his mother’s sacrifice, his rise to power, his struggle with and acceptance of his lineage and the deliverance of his people. This stories focus on Joseph and Moses’ devotion, faith and obedience to God in the face of scorn, mockery and threat of death; their steadfast belief and willingness to obey brought God to their people and their people to freedom and prosperity.’This book is bound to be of help to better understand the Old Testament in a contemporary technique so popular among young (and not so young!) readers.
