<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A beginner's guide to physical evidences from archaeology that support the accuracy and credibility of the Bible -- "What Every Christian Should Know About Archaeology and Why."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A growing number of people today think the Bible is filled with fairy tales and fables, but the author contends there are literally thousands of discoveries from archaeology that support the Bible as historically accurate and reliable. In this informative yet easy-to-read book, Jan Sessions shares her own personal "journey of enlightenment," including many faith-building discoveries from her own research as well as eye-witness observations from her recent trip to Israel and Jordan. </p> <p><strong><em>Fables Don't Leave Footprints</em></strong> contains over 120, full-color photographs of what the author calls "footprints"--physical, outside-the-Bible evidences left behind by people, places, and events recorded in the Bible. Based on the evidence, "there are more reasons than ever to believe!"</p> <p>Excerpts from the book: <br /> Perhaps, like me, you grew up learning all the major stories of the Bible but you never knew how they fit into the Big Picture of History. It was like the Bible existed in a vacuum. It's nobody's fault, really--that's just how the Bible is typically taught.</p> <p>But then one day my 9<sup>th</sup> Grade Ancient History teacher mentioned King Nebuchadnezzar and I had my first "Aha!" moment. "He's in the Bible!" I blurted out. That was a faith-building moment for me. Although I had never doubted the accuracy of the Bible, it was exciting to discover that the Bible and world history were undeniably "connected." </p> <p>Sadly, most Christians have very few, if any, "Aha!" moments. We go through life believing the Bible is true but are generally unaware of the vast array of outside-the-Bible evidences that verify the Bible as "real history." Then I stumbled upon the missing piece--the key that virtually unlocked the mystery for me and corroborated the Bible's story in an amazing way. What is this key that I found so helpful? It's Archaeology--the study of old things! ...</p> <p>Searching for answers beyond the pages of the Bible does not indicate a lack of faith, as some may think. After all, we are separated from Bible times by thousands of miles and years! Tangible, physical evidence simply provides us with a visual link to the past, assisting our faith in the unseen to grow. You might even say, "Archaeology is where the Bible takes <em>shape!"</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>As a professional archaeologist, I found Ms. Sessions' book a delightful teaser. Each chapter begins with an everyday circumstance to which we can relate and then quickly transitions to focus on a biblical topic for which archaeology provides illumination. She writes with a flair and easily engages her readers (I was particularly humored by her word play about the Lachish Reliefs which show No Relief for Lachish!). Many of her conclusions are open to debate and argument--the very nature of academic pursuit--but she recognizes those areas of controversy, while obviously maintaining a very high regard for Scripture. I commend her work as a succulent appetizer for the larger feast of biblical archaeology. Dale W. Manor, Ph.D. Professor of Archaeology and Bible, Harding University Field Director of Tel Beth-Shemesh Excavations, Israel The old saying in archaeology is "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." This is the motivating message in Jan Sessions' Fables Don't Leave Footprints: there is evidence, and the more we know about it the better we can assure our souls of the truth of the Bible and answer those who have not yet understood how well the Bible tells its story in the context of history. In addition, the only new information coming to us about the Bible comes to us from archaeology. Jan knows there is much to learn from archaeology, and her passion to discover is contagious and reflected on every page. This is a guidebook for all ages that demonstrates that the events, places, and persons in Scripture are real and therefore argues that our faith must be just as real. Follow these footprints; they will lead you to a greater faith! Randall Price, Ph.D. Distinguished Research Professor Executive Director, Center for Judaic Studies Liberty University Jan Sessions' book on Biblical archaeology exhibits lavish pictures and offers cogent narratives on ancient near-eastern artifacts. It will serve as a crash review for those knowledgeable and a genuine eye opener for those uninitiated. It will be of inestimable assistance to those who teach church classes on Biblical archaeology. I have known Jan and her family since her high school years and have always been impressed with her sincere desire to understand and explicate the Biblical record. Thomas H. Olbricht, Ph.D. Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Religion Pepperdine University<br>
