description: Like Anita Diamont's bestselling THE RED TENT, this stunning collaboration from an award-winning father &amp; son team finds inspiration in the world's most profound &amp; influential literary work, the BibleCombining the power of his finest fiction w/ the exquisite language of his poetry, Walter Dean Myers retells 6 stories from the Old Testament--all w/ YA narrators. Some stories are well known (Samson&amp;Delilah), others less so (Aser&amp;Gamiel). Some are straightforward (Ruth&amp;Naomi). Others are complicated &amp; challenging (Abraham&amp;Isaac). But like the bloodlines that connect many of these biblical figures, a common theme courses through their stories: LOVE. Christopher's arresting artwork is grounded in the traditions of classical art but is infused with a vision and soul all his own.
