For many people, the

Bible has become like

commonplace scenery on a

daily commute to work.

Others view the Scripture

as a collection of archaic

stories about strange

people from a different

place and a vastly different

time. In either case, the

Bible appears no more

inviting or relevant than

1,200 pages from the

Congressional Record.

But what if an event

described in the Bible took

place in your neighborhood,

your office, your nation s

capital? An attempted rape

next door, a swindle by

your business partner, a

murder committed by the

President of the United

States. What Jf a previously

distant event suddenly

became front page news in

your life? David McCasland presents

biblical events as they might

look if they happened today.

These fictional stories are

based on the Bible itself and

each parable is followed by

the actual record from

Scripture.

The late Malcolm

Muggeridge said of the Bible,

"The truth is that the light which

shines in this incredible book

simply cannot be put out."

Pinstripe Parables is an

invitation to turn up the light.

David McCasland is the

author of the award-winning

biography Oswald Chambers:

Abandoned to God and co-

author of Blind Courage with

BiU Irwin. David and his wife,

Luann: have four daughters

and live in Colorado Springs.
