Dr. William Richardson, Professor Emeritus of Andrews University, invites readers to take a deeper look at some of the most familiar figures in Scripture in his compelling new book, GOD'S PEOPLE?? (The Great, the Ordinary and the Really Ugly) [https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Relentless-Pursuit-Beloved-Fugitives/dp/1479617989/ref]

This thought-provoking work offers more than a retelling of well-known biblical stories. Instead, it peels back the polished layers often placed upon biblical heroes and reveals them in their full humanity. While many readers have grown up hearing about these figures in simplified or sanitized ways, Dr. Richardson presents a "deeper-dive" into their lives, uncovering personalities that are colorful, flawed, courageous, conflicted, and deeply relatable.

Yet the true focus of the book is not merely the people themselves. Threaded through each portrait is what Dr. Richardson describes as the "silver string" of the unseen but ever-present God whose love is absolutely unremitting. Rather than spotlighting human greatness or failure alone, GOD'S PEOPLE?? highlights how the God of grace relates to imperfect individuals-and continues to do so today.

For readers who long for heaven yet quietly fear that God sees them as irredeemable, this book offers reassurance and hope. Through these biblical portraits, Dr. Richardson delivers a clear and encouraging message: God's grace is not reserved for the flawless. It is extended to the great, the ordinary, and even the really ugly.

The book has already been enthusiastically received by many who appreciate its honest tone and theological depth.

Dr. Richardson is no stranger to biblical scholarship or thoughtful reflection. Over the course of many years at Andrews University, he taught courses in both the Old and New Testament, specializing in New Testament Greek and the Pauline Epistles. His passion in the classroom was to help students not only understand Scripture, but genuinely enjoy learning the whole biblical story.

In retirement, he continues to engage his mind and faith by writing sermon manuscripts and preaching monthly at his church. It was during this season that he revisited a collection of sermons he believed deserved a broader audience. After considerable editing, he submitted twenty-one of these manuscripts to Westbow Press, where an editor agreed with his assessment-leading to the publication of this latest work

Dr. Richardson is also the author of FUGITIVES: God's Relentless Pursuit of His Beloved, which shares a similar style and focus on biblical personalities. His earlier works include Paul Among Friends and Enemies and Speaking in Tongues, Is it Still the Gift of the Spirit?.

When not writing or preaching, Dr. Richardson enjoys tending his garden and riding his electric bike, often logging sixty to eighty miles a week when weather permits. A widower, he is the proud father of three married children and grandfather to eight "world-class" grandchildren.

GOD'S PEOPLE?? (The Great, the Ordinary and the Really Ugly) is now available on Amazon.

For readers seeking a deeper, grace-centered understanding of Scripture's most familiar characters, this book offers insight, honesty, and renewed hope.
