Here is the ultimate resource on the day to day life of the people who inhabit the pages of the Bible: priests and sailors, musicians and mourners, scribes and craftsmen.The latest findings shed light on agriculture, animals, apparel, nutrition, crafts, business and trade, city life, flowers and plants, homes, music, professions and more.

I picked up this account of one woman's love affair with the cross at a yard sale at Hillside Terrace, the retirement home where my grandmother died ten years ago. It is pretty cool with a narrative account of her journeys across Europe and the Mediterranean looking at crosses, plus appendices with sayings about the cross, Bible verses about the cross, and hymns about the cross. If you want to know all about the cross, this is the book for you!
