Just as the life of each of the children of God in the Bible was birthed in a dream and destined with a special plan for their life by God, long before he created the heavens and the earth, so is the life of every child born and living today. God wants every child to know he had a dream about them and has a plan for their lives. He wants them to fulfill that dream. The God Had a Dream series of books, which are based on Bible stories, have been written and illustrated to excite and encourage every child to want to know Gods dream and plan for their life, to want to say yes to his dream and plan. The books are written to show that by obeying, obeying now, and obeying willingly, Gods dream and plan for them will be fulfilled in a mighty way.

In thirty six short and engaging reflections, Sam Wells explores what influences and shapes how we live, love, think, read Scripture, feel and dream.

"A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.
