As a busy mum of three boys under five, a book really has to hook me to get me to read it and this certainly works from that perspective.
Focusing on the emotions and imagined stories of peripheral characters in some very famous Bible stories, Altars of Stone seeks to ‘enrich both new and established readers of the Bible, with geographical, cultural and historical details’ (from the book’s blurb).
