A Little Bird Told Me: Everyday Expressions from Scripture
A drop in the ocean; The writing is on the wall; From strength to strength; Head and shoulders above the rest - just some of our everyday expressions which find their roots in the Bible! people quote biblical expressions without even knowing that they are doing so. Historically, the influence of the Bible has been so great that it has permeated the very fibre of the English language. Timothy Cross in this enlightening and Scripture-rooted book reveals the origins of fifty-two of these sayings whilst considering their meaning and how they apply to us today.
