Ugh. Pretty much the only good news here is that I think this is the grimmest story in the Bible, so at least things don't get any worse.
More thoughts on the blog.
this story is so deep, it saddens me to hear
A sad, sad commentary of humankind living outside of God's redeeming love.
arg...what a sad story
I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.
These are the summaries of the book of Judges.
They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.
Find out about the project here, you can buy the Bible Summary book on Kindle or in paperback, and feel free to get in contact if you have any comments or questions.
