Terri Burroughs. Kearny, Neb.: Morris Publishing, 2010. 127 pp. (Paperback).
Terri Burroughs, an author and Sunday School teacher from Tuscaloosa, developed a series of five-minute Bible stories to share with her class. Encouraged by friends, she compiled 14 of the stories into a book.
Not stories in the traditional sense, the readings are designed, according to the author, to offer “insights into life-changing truths of the Bible.”
One reading gives a list of ways to walk wisely. One can walk wisely, according to the author, by obeying God’s will, by claiming God’s promises and by standing firm in the Lord and His power.
Another reading presents God’s plan for man as revealed in eight covenants, beginning with the Edenic Covenant and ending with the New Covenant, fulfilled in Jesus. All readings are supported with quotations from Scripture.
The stories are illustrated with black-and-white photographs taken by Burroughs’ husband on a trip to the Holy Land in 2005.
