So dangerous stories is an invitation to become excited about the stories contained in the bible, to dig deeper beyond just print on a page, to experience a little bit of what is really being described in its pages.  But in the end – it is up to the reader – are you willing to allow the word of God to become fully alive as you read it – well that’s up to you.

So explore, comment, give me feedback.  In the future this page will be split into several subpages of daily devotion series but for now – there is only one – being posted as it is written – check it out by hitting the ‘He Did What?‘ menu button.

Cheers and God Bless,

Michael.
