  A first book of Bible-based micro-tales 
  “Fiction Favours the Facts” is a collection of the first 22 micro-tales from the Bible Tales Newsletter. 
  Micro-tales?  What are they?  Short stories about Bible characters or events. 
  Bible-based fiction – the facts of the Bible rounded out with imaginative detail to help us recognise the lives and feelings of real people. 
  Some are about Bible characters you have never heard of, while others concentrate on an incident in the life of one of the more famous Bible characters. 
  Cain and Abel, Noah and his family, Moses and Aaron, Daniel, Ebed-Melech, Mark, Peter, Paul and Silas and Judas Iscariot share their experiences with us. Lives from long ago are made real so that we can share their difficulties, triumphs and failures – and expand our own understanding of what makes our life worthwhile to God. 
  In “Fiction Favours the Facts” Old Testament heroes interact with ordinary people and we learn their lessons of hospitality and faith. 
    
  Even the life of the most famous traitor – Judas Iscariot – is opened for us to look at in a possible reconstruction of how he became a traitor. 
    
  A wide variety of Biblical characters walk across the pages of this book and each micro-tale gives us something to think about. Lives presented by the Bible in just a few words are thoughtfully expanded, tinted with colour and life – but without straying from God’s word.

  The Picture of Dorian Gray" is Oscar Wilde's classic tale of the moral decline of its title character, Dorian Gray. When Dorian has his portrait painted by Basil Hallward and wishes that he would stay young while his picture changes, his wish comes true. In exchange for this Dorian gives up his soul and as he ages the bad deeds that he commits are reflected in his painting and not him. "The Picture of Dorian Gray", arguably Wilde's most popular work, was considered quite scandalous when it was first published in the late 1800s in Victorian England
