The Story of Judah and Tamar in Genesis 38 is a familiar one in the Christian Bible. Nevertheless, it is also a controversial chapter in biblical scholarship due to an apparently dissonant narrative. In fact most expositions of the Book of Genesis do not waste much ink on this story. There are prominent theologians who insist that this episode plays no role whatsoever in Genesis and that it should not even be inserted into the divine record. However, what is included by the Holy Spirit is not so easily dismissed by the doubts or cleverness of men. It is the conviction of this author that the Story of Judah and Tamar properly understood models a reading of Scripture that is consonant with what the church fathers have termed 'regula fidei' or 'rule of faith'. Such an interpretation upholds a reading tradition pioneered by Jesus, the apostles and the church fathers. When seen through this canonical prism - rather than invoking skepticism - this brief but significant account in the divine record should alert Christians to a deep mystery in the divine revelation concerning God's identity, His move, and His abiding relevance for present day Christian life, living and experience.

The main purpose/s of this book is to attract the readers to a more creative and realistic approach about the land of Israel, the people and the Jewish religion. Much information from the media has already been projected about Israel or The Holy Land in a way that some people might be misled into thinking it's a dangerous place to visit let alone live. Danny explains that Israel is like any part of the world; a mixture of good and bad. The whole point of creating a Jewish state called Israel is/was for Jewish people or Jews to go and live in peace and comfort. Of course life in Israel is also about life in the Middle East which is a volatile part of the world. The issue about war due to religion and politics has been going on for a long time; but each story; long or short, attempts to explain to the reader at why Israel is so special from various view points. The short stories are like an appetizer to give you some creativity in your free time because they will also make you laugh from time to during difficult situations or circumstances.
