About the Book

Could It Be? focuses on twelve biblical passages. Most of them have been denigrated or disregarded, either by those who want nothing to do with organized religion or by others who claim to be genuinely Christian. The author reclaims those discarded gems, proclaims those stories as relevant, countermands erroneous interpretations, and counteracts the results of misinformation about their meaning and purpose. The book is designed to stir the status quo and begins the stirring process by reexamining old passages from a new approach. Its author believes the only road leading to intellectual and spiritual growth runs through the crowded and musty city of "Old Ideas" and winds through the treacherous valley of "New Possibilities." That is the basic outline for every chapter in this book. Each chapter identifies problematical interpretations of some ingrained religious ideas and offers new possibilities that enrich Christian living. Biblical requirements considered impossible to follow are interpreted as very doable. The uppermost question for each reader to keep in mind is, "Could it be this passage is very different than I originally thought?" Throughout the book, the author repeatedly affirms God is at work in common places, events, and things. Biblical stories about personal deliverance and radical change were frequently facilitated by something quite ordinary. What we called a miracle was often an ordinary act for God. If that is how God works, he regularly offers "miracles" to everyone, not just to special people in special situations. These passages about miracles, admonitions, and probing questions are prototypes of the human condition, making them extremely relevant because they are "OUR STORY" too.

Review :
Hollywood Review by Jack Chambers This is the perfect read for those who enjoy non-fiction books, especially those who enjoy books on religion & spirituality, most notably Christianity, and who seek knowledge about their faith which they might not otherwise be aware of. The author's ability to relate their own belief system to ideas and concepts for which these passages deals with was remarkable to read about. The idea, for instance, that we may as a group of people throw away our convictions or beliefs for little to no gain in our world forces us to look at things a bit differently and more critically, as shown through Genesis 25: 21-34. The US Review of Books by Barbara Bamberger Scott "Could it be that the appropriate place to stir is a new examination and interpretation of seriously misunderstood biblical passages?" Each chapter delves deeply into the biblical tale presented, allowing the reader to see it through a myriad of viewpoints and, in doing so, apply the lessons learned to his/her own life situations. The author's unique and intriguing interpretations could be utilized for group and individual study and contemplation. Literary Titan "I would recommend this book to those who already have some involvement in the Christian faith. This would make an excellent book for a Bible Study group or book club." This book takes an alternative look at biblical passages which are often discarded or misinterpreted. Each chapter begins with a bible verse and some insight into how believers usually interpret it, followed by Joseph C. Way's deep reflection and thought.
