For you formed my inward parts;
    you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
    my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
    intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

Psalm 139:13-15

All but one young boy, who came to the Great Square for a drink and found something that quenched his thirst even better: wonderful stories. As he listened to the last storyteller recount the Endless Drought, and the Glorious Blue Water Bird, he discovered the power of a tale well told.

Alice sits down with her Bible storybook and reads the Lord's Prayer–the words Jesus used when He taught His followers to pray. As she reads, Alice writes down her own thoughts to share.

This book, much like Alice's books on the Psalms and Proverbs, contains lots of interpretive additions to God's word. I hope that, whether or not you agree with her interpretations, this book will inspire you to read and engage with Scripture and draw your own conclusions!

Alice opens her Bible storybook to read the Psalms and Proverbs. Then, she writes her own poems to share.

Obviously all books ABOUT the Bible that AREN'T the Bible are varying degrees of interpretive. This book is the same. Though I don't necessarily agree with every reflection "Alice" makes, I think her intentional reading of, reflection upon, and personal synthesis/application from the Scriptures are a delightful practice that we could all engage in! I hope this story encourages you to pick up a copy of the Bible and make some reflections of your own!

At a sparrow’s urging, a young girl feels a mysterious trembling in her arms, a lightness in her feet, a longing to be free. Her mother tells her that her Granny Liza experienced the same, as did many of their people before her. Perhaps it’s time, Mama says, to slip the bonds of earth and join the journey started long ago. To hold each other tight and rise.

The song this book is based on was written from the author's remembering of The People Could Fly, a collection of African folktales collected and retold by Virginia Hamilton.
