Book Synopsis

In this second book of his popular lexical trilogy, Frederick Buechner profiles more than 125 of the Bible''s most holy and profane people -- and one whale. In his lively and witty prose, Buechner brings to life such moments from scripture as:

  • Adam''s pangs of regret for a remembered Eden

  • Delilah''s last glimpse of Samson as they dragged him away

  • Lazarus''s first impressions upon rising from the dead

To read Peculiar Treasures is to realize that many of these legendary figures are not who we thought they were. But they are -- in their human dreams,ambitions, and imperfections -- very much like us.
