Untold Tales of Ancient Times: 10 Stories from the Old Testament
About this ebook
What did our ancient heroes of faith feel and think? What were their inmost ambitions, hopes and fears? These tales are glimpses of what might have moved their minds, actions, and beliefs. It is a bid of what is written between the lines of the Bible.
Staying true to God’s word, these semi-fictive stories are written to entertain you, provoke your gray cells and, if possible, make you love reading the Bible even more. Even though they are partly fictive, they should be in line with what is known about the history and culture of the ancient Middle East, as well as hard facts provided by biblical archaeology. The goal is most definitely not to add to the Bible, but to stimulate you in your walk with God.
Enjoy!

About the author
Sten Johannesson was born in Sweden in 1966. While studying at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, he took the Bible to heart and committed himself fully to the Christian faith.
After completing a master’s degree in biochemistry, he moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, where he met his wife, started a family, and discovered a passion for teaching apologetics. Over the years he produced more than a hundred presentations on Christian evidences, which led to his first book in Danish in 2015.
His next book, Untold Tales of Ancient Times, was released in 2020 and features ten short stories about remarkable men and women from the Old Testament. In 2022 he wrote a devotional study on Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, designed as a quiet-time guide, later translated into English in 2023 as To the Saints, the Faithful in Christ Jesus. In 2024 he published a comprehensive study on communion titled The Lord’s Supper: Remember – Reflect – Rejoice. In 2025 he released a short, creative work titled My Conversation with Titus, followed later that year by an inspirational book on the heart of Jesus, offering twenty brief studies suited for sermons, communion speeches, or personal meditation.
His books are available on Amazon, and many can also be found on Google Play Books and Payhip.
