Here is a sample from one of the chapters:

 

 

6 ~ MATTHEW

 

People didn’t like Matthew. He was a tax collector. People know taxes must be paid to pay for road building and sewers and schools and such like. Nothing is free.  People had to pay for it in their taxes.

 

But people don’t like to pay taxes for things they don’t think the government should pay for.

 

The government let Matthew keep whatever tax money they didn’t need. So he doubled their taxes. He got rich that way. People resented Matthew. He was not popular.

 

One day Matthew went to hear John the Baptist preach. John told people there was going to be a new kingdom of God soon, and they needed to be ready to be included in it.

 

John kept baptizing unpopular people who wanted to be part of that kingdom of God, and the goody-goody people didn’t like it.
