Terrible Tales

Stories from the Old Testament that everyone should know

“This is a disgraceful and scurrilous book. I loved it and recommend it wholeheartedly.”

The Right Reverend Dr. John Inge, Bishop of Worcester

“The Bible is the source of many cracking tales and Michael Power’s delightful version will remind you of the best and introduce you to many others which, as he says …'”Everyone should know’ “

Sir Tim Rice. Author and lyricist of ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’

A word from the author:

“I have treated the stories in an irreverent, but I hope not disrespectful way – sometimes with just a verse or two, sometimes with the full story. I have drawn them from the King James Version whose language is a lot more eloquent than mine, if also rather more extended’.

Michael Power
