The timeless characters of the earliest period in biblical history come alive in contemporary language and reveal again the ageless wisdom gained from their experience of the human encounter with the divine.
Marion Prather Hays, English teacher, newspaper columnist, and Washington, D.C. Sunday school teacher, is best known as the co-worker and wife of the late Brooks Hays, former United Stated senator from Arkansas. Boldly standing against racism and bigotry, the Hayses gained the admiration of countless American political and religious leaders. The list of those acknowledging indebtedness to the positive influence of Marion and Brooks Hays includes many of the most significant public figures in American life today, including President Bill Clinton, who invited Mrs. Hays to participate in the inaugural prayer service.
"The classic companion for sixty years of the late Brooks Hays speaks for herself in warm and witty sketches of Old Testament characters. Everyone who teaches a Sunday school class or goes to one (or, for that matter, knows he should) will laugh and learn with Mrs. Hays. Brook's favorite term for Marion was "l.m." (little manager). She manages to help us all."
