“My heart is stirred by a good theme…my tongue is the pen of a ready writer”. – Psalm45:1
Hi there! Thank you for being here. My name is Oyin. I am the primary author of Behind The Verses. I owe my life to Jesus and I love to hangout with family and friends, try new meals and watch old sitcoms.
In the past, this blog was a Christian lifestyle blog but over time, I believe the Lord has led me to focus on Bible stories and Bible-inspired fiction.
The purpose of Behind The Verses is to highlight fine details in the Bible through stories, to show the humanity and relatability of Bible characters. Ultimately to show that Bible characters were simply humans, like you and me, who encountered an extraordinary God. This blog also aims to promote contextual understanding of the Bible. So I encourage that after reading a story, you check the reference scriptures and think about the context and realties of the story.
I will appreciate your support. So please leave a comment, like and share the posts, subscribe, follow on social media and join the mailing community. It’s great to have you here.
