There was a certain rich man who lived in great luxury and at his gate laid a beggar named
Lazarus, whose body was covered with sores. He was hoping that he might receive scraps
from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
After a while the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich
man died, was buried and from his torment in hell raised his eyes to see Lazarus sitting next
to Abraham up in heaven. He cried out, "Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus
to dip his finger in water to cool my tongue and stop this burning!"
But Abraham said, "Remember, my son, when your life was filled with all good things while
Lazarus had a bad life and no one cared. Now Lazarus is being comforted while you are
being tormented. Also, there is a deep pit between us so anyone who would pass from here
to you cannot, and no one can cross from where you are to us."
The rich man said, "Then I beg you father Abraham, send Lazarus to my five brothers at my father's
house to warn them so they will not end up here where I am being tormented!"
Abraham replied, "They have Moses and the prophets, let them listen to them."
The rich man answered, "That is not enough of a warning, father Abraham! But if someone
were to rise from death and go to them, then they would repent."
But Abraham said, "If they do not take the words of Moses and the prophets seriously, then they
will not be convinced even if someone were to rise from death."

There are at least 66 books that make up the bible. Sometimes, trying to follow a storyline is difficult because there are books that
are good for support and prayer like Wisdom, Job, Psalms,
and Proverbs. They take you away from the story.

And now you can listen... FREE! to the Storyline read by Kathy Bird.
It's streamed mp3 so you can listen to it easily, even if you have dial up. The story
