這部作品網羅了聖經裡頭那不可思議的人物和情節，以輕鬆好吸收的方式，給予孩童不同的宗教故事解讀。

我們常認為聖經很有距離感，但其實裡頭充斥了奇特又有趣的事物，比如會開口講話的驢子，以及轉變為鹽柱的女人。《The Totally True Book of Strange and Surprising Bible Lists》將這些奇異故事的精華濃縮在一個又一個引人入勝的主題裡，帶領孩童一窺應許之地的7種特別糧食、聖經中最不可思議的7位母親、以及7種最奇異的生物…等聖經中不為人知的秘密。

這部作品將顛覆大人小孩對聖經的想像，引發讀者對於宗教的好奇心，並從中感受聖經故事的奧妙和寓意。

結合條列式主題以及生動可親的繪圖，這本書縮短了孩童與宗教的距離，並從中收穫閱讀故事的樂趣。

“This book is a resource you'll want to keep handy and pore over with others. Gorgeous details and refreshing language will help you remember what is wild and holy about God's story. Each list honors an honest and messy faith, declaring God's keen interest and delight in our indignity and in the ordinary.”——Rev. Meta Herrick Carlson, author of Ordinary Blessings and Speak It Plain

“This book of biblical lists is downright fun! I love that this is a romp rather than a more rigid kind of biblical exploration--much closer to the kind of adventure the Bible invites us to experience.”——Dr. Diane Jacobson, deacon, professor emerita of Old Testament, Luther Seminary
