Book description
The Dark Chapters series tell three of the darker stories from the
Bible. The three books in the series, The Egyptian Nightmare (the story
of Pharaoh), Izevel, Queen of Darkness (the story of Jezebel) and The
Sky Will Fall (the story of Samson), focus on the story of one character
from the Bible and see how their life compares to how God wants us to
live. They also examine what happens as a consequence of them not
following God's plan for their lives. The text does not sensationalise
the horrific aspects of each story for entertainment's sake, and
therefore trivialise what it has to say. On the contrary, each retold
account uses the more fantastic and gruesome epsiodes of each
character's story to grip the reader and draw them into assessing why
these events take place. The reader is asked throughout the books to
consider questions about the nature of God, how we should live as
Christians, what value we place on things of this world - power, wealth,
influence or popularity - and what God values. Kate Chamberlayne was
