The author has chosen a poetic form to retell some of the familiar stories of the Old Testament a.k.a. the Hebrew Scriptures. Both the rhyming poetic form and the content of Ms. Luzwick’s poems demystify the familiar stories. As retold in this book, the stories point to the humanness of the people with whom God made a covenant and, while pointing up the foibles of the humans, reveal the grace and mercy of god.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Diedre Luzwick writes entertaining and engaging poems about the lead characters in the Old Testament [Hebrew Bible] in order to point out the humanness of the people that God called. The stories make for an entertaining read for young and old alike. --Dr. Richard Jensen, Retired
Dierdre's evocative, provocative, and often humorous re-telling of the biblical narrative from Creation to King Solomon in poetic rhyme and rhythmn makes Scripture accessible, vibrant and alive. --Rabbi Byron L. Sherwin, Ph.D.
Readers who are familiar these Biblical stories will be delighted with the manner in which Luzwick retells them, adding her own surprising twists and turns while remaining faithful to the original text. Readers who are unfamiliar with them will chuckle at these dramatic verses and may be eager to peruse the Scriptural version of these stories. Rarely has sacred literature been made more accessible and more enjoyable. --Stanley Krippner, Ph.D.

The Catcher of the Wise: Poetic Interpretations from the Hebrew Scriptures aka the Old Testament,
By
This review is from: The Catcher of the Wise: Poetic Interpretations from the Hebrew Scriptures aka the Old Testament (Paperback)
Pure delight. An entertaining and sometimes provocative rendition some stories out of the Old Testament. I wish I had a more retentive mind so that I could quote many of the lines - and the morals - at appropriate times.
