Critical praise for ?Tales of Old?
“The tales from the Old Testament are as familiar and comfortable as pot roast for Sunday dinner, yet these are new and fresh in lively retellings by Clive Johnson. Using great storytelling techniques and modern language, Johnson makes these tales nearly dance off the pages.” – San Francisco Book Review
“Accessible, enlightening pieces that lend to read-aloud drama, bringing to life not just the tales but their underlying lessons. These stories don’t just lend to read-aloud, but beg to be performed.” – Midwest Book Review
“Using simple language and vivid imagery, including perspectives on each story?s meaning or lesson…illuminating the modern relevance of these ancient writings.” – BlueInk Review
“Embracing drama and adventure, but adding the moral, ethical, and spiritual flourishes necessary to open dialogues about the Bible’s underlying lessons, making them far more than just a rehash of the originals.” – Midwest Book Review
