Shortly after World War II, a covert US agency was established to recover scientific records left by one of Hitler's top-secret programs. The dictator once dreamt of creating the perfect soldier but ran out of time as the war ended. The agency was directed to pick up where they Germans left off but with one huge difference: they were asked to scientifically create the perfect human being.The agency achieved its goal. In 1950, the top-secret laboratory became the birthplace of the first American test tube baby. Over the next eight years, they eagerly molded their prototype into a unique creation they named Gabriel.Per the plan to assimilate the youth into society, Gabriel was abandoned at the front door of an unsuspecting middle-class family. The scientists hoped Gabriel would be accepted into their home and would quickly acclimate into their lifestyle. The plan worked. The chosen family embraced the orphan as a heaven-sent answer to their prayers.Maynard, the family's biological child, discovered his new brother was gifted with unimaginable abilities. For example, Gabriel had a photographic memory and could recite the entire Bible by the age of three. He had an indescribable talent to hear other people's thoughts and alter them. The youngster recorded the second highest IQ score ever achieved. He even demonstrated eyesight comparable with elite predatory birds. Because of his vision, Gabriel soon became a baseball phenom and the best pure hitter to have ever stepped into a batter's box.After a work-related tragedy killed her husband, the wife relocated with her two sons from Clovis, California, to Portland, Oregon. It was a blessed opportunity to begin anew. Gabriel excelled. On the diamond, the youngster distinguished himself as a local hero by leading his team to a state championship. Off the field, a few kids attempted to bully him. Gabriel, a devoted follower of Christ, protected himself without sacrificing his beliefs.Gabriel was valedictorian of his high school graduating class, after which he went on to play professional baseball in the minor leagues. He was a rising star on the verge of greatness when divine providence interceded.

This offering is a compilation of lesser-known Bible characters, their stories, and life examples taken from each. The format makes it even easier to digest and will keep the reader looking for what is next. Each entry is structured the following way: the honoree for each chapter is identified along with the number of verses that s/he appears in the Bible;the "Backstory" or the general context that gives rise to the events surrounding the lesser-known's application to daily life and living;the related scripture forming the basis for the lesson(s) to be considered;a cite or cites for further Scriptural study on this individual;the big one: A related set of takeaways for application. Each is carefully drafted to comport with the Scriptures; andfootnotes citing proofs that can be readily accessed by those who are interested in deeper study.There are important life lessons exhibited by somewhat obscure Bible characters that are unaddressed in any other offering. A review of available topics in bookstores or a search for offerings online will show that there are many opportunities to learn from the Bible's better-known characters. Examples of those would include Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Ruth, David, Peter, the apostle Paul, and many others. While one may presume that hours spent learning from those examples are well-spent, there are within God's Word so many other accounts of individuals--lesser-known men and women.Recognizing and applying the truth of 2 Timothy 3:16: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching," it follows that among the many lesser-known Bible characters there are also valuable examples from which we might learn.An opportunity to do just that is what one may expect from these pages and no others.

The black background feels like the woman is walking into darkness / gloom vs. hope. (I have attached a few pictures for inspiration.. one has the lavender field with a sunrise.. others are just lighter in general)The second request is that it seems like there is an extra space between "of" and "It" in the title.
