The Catcher of the Wise: Poetic Interpretations from the Hebrew Scriptures aka the Old Testament
by Dierdre Luzwick
Category: Juvenile Nonfiction

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. Luzwicks 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.
