'In Witnesses, Valerie Volk takes us behind the scenes for a fresh look at some of the great moments in biblical history. These sixteen compelling stories are told by those on the sidelines: Saul's armourbearer, Noah's daughter-in-law, frightened of water and about to board the Ark, a man who cut a hole in the roof of a house to lower his paralysed brother to Jesus, David's daughter Tamar, sexually assaulted by her brother ... witnesses at the edges of significant and familiar stories.

'The characters in Witnesses tell their own tales, but they are also observers of important events. Their stories will change the way you understand the Bible, and have implications for modern lives.' (Publication summary)
