Paycheck to Paycheck –– Chance "Cash" Register Working Stiff Series –– Vol. 1 My favorite books to read have usually been "novels" without plot, classic tomes like Tom Kromer's Waiting for Nothing, Jack Black's You Can't Win, Hamsun's Hunger, Bukowski's Post Office, Sa Franko's God Bless America, et al.

The characters in Scripture are often portrayed as one-dimensional-as caricatures instead of human beings with real needs, authentic pain, and compelling fears. When their problems are viewed as one-dimensional, so is their faith. Approaching biblical characters in this way can inhibit listeners' ability to hear the biblical witness as relevant to their own lives and can minimize the impact of Scripture on their faith journey.
