Fables Don't Leave Footprints: Following a Trail of Archaeological Discoveries from Genesis to Jesus

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. Fables Dont Leave Footprints 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!Excerpts from the book: 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. Its nobodys fault really--thats just how the Bible is typically taught.But then one day my 9th Grade Ancient History teacher mentioned King Nebuchadnezzar and I had my first Aha! moment. Hes 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. 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 Bibles story in an amazing way. What is this key that I found so helpful? Its Archaeology--the study of old things! ...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 shape!
