The Lives of Ordinary People tells the untold story of how the vast majority of Israelites ― the people who are usually overlooked in "typical" histories of ancient Israel ― lived during the eighth century b.c.e. William G. Dever applies the latest archaeological evidence and his own considerable expertise to answer the question What was it really like to live in Israel's divided kingdom? Writing as an archaeologist who is also a secular humanist, Dever relies primarily on archaeological data rather than the Hebrew Bible for his source material. He uncovers and analyzes rich archaeological troves that provide vital clues about how most people lived. Illustrated by photos, maps, charts, site plans, and specially commissioned drawings, Dever's work brings vividly to life a world too long buried beneath dusty texts and stony landscapes.

My daddy works in heaven. He has a very important job to do. When Mommy told me that Daddy got a call to go to work in heaven, I was sad. I'm so happy my daddy is so important; he got to go work in heaven so he could watch over me and my family. He said not to be sad or lonely as he is smiling on me and watching me grow into a very fine young man. "My son," my daddy says, "where you walk I will be by your side; where you sleep I will watch over; and I will always be watching over you my son with love and peace."
