An End of Speaking: Stories of the Bible book by Zac Walsh
By Zac WalshAn End of Speaking offers readers 9 short stories all connected by their biblical origins.

The second half of the book allows Jesus to be as human as he seemed to believe he was. We see Jesus with the woman at the well and he sees her as a woman and she sees him as a man, and everyone is nervous because everyone believes they want to be pure. In "Acts on an Old Saw" the book waves at itself, living forwards and understanding backwards, in the form of a play that takes place in the 3rd heaven, which also might be a clever way to say it takes place in the mind of the Son of the Ancient of Days. An End of Speaking leaves us on the island of Patmos with John of the Apocalypse. John is alone, heat struck, and losing grip with what is and what was and what is to come. Are not we all?
