An exceptional textbook for writers

M.E. Hawke has produced a textbook on essential dimensional plot structure that is well thought out and has convincing explanations of biblical text mingled with persuasive discourse and easy to distinguish examples in everyday life. She invites the reader to take part in the greatest epic of all time and as pointed out by Hawke; that epic is made especially for us by the greatest romantic adventurer and epic hero of all time.

You do not have to be an avid reader of scripture or a believer of any kind of religion linked with the Old and New Testament to appreciate the literary genius of these timeless age old texts and Hawke brings this to light with her own well studied insight and knowledge as seen through the eyes of a literary scholar. There are times while reading this textbook that the suspense and action build like a great novel. It is clear that Hawke has mastered many writing techniques. An example would be her chapter on the pastoral elements of a story and how they impact the story itself.....something, quite frankly, I rarely consider myself when reading any kind of story and so once again Hawke's deep intuitive understanding shines through and becomes a focus for reflection while reading the biblical text, any kind of story or watching many notable films. I truly had a smile on my face as Hawke described the comedy in the story of Esther. In fact I couldn't help but wonder if there was a good writer that could actually write a good script about the story of Esther that the final completed film would have the audience rolling in the aisles from laughter. Hawke brings you her perspective so you are able to see some stories of the Bible in a totally different light and she brings them to life in ways that the reader can easily see as exiting and worthwhile. At one point in Hawke's book she exclaims God's grief at the death of his Son..... "But God's grief is colossal. At the death of Jesus, the thick temple veil tears like the ripping of God's heart, the sky turns black as God closes his tear-filled eyes, and the earth shakes with the heaving of His sobs.(Lk 23.44-45, Mt 27.51b) pg 120. That is some good writing and the analogy along with the happenings in the New Testament text after the death of Jesus is both stirring and devastating.
