His wife, children, and friends will not miss him. In fact, most will consider the world better off without him. His life didn't have to end up that way, and Wise knew it. He watched Badman grow up from a child and was there when he lay on his deathbed, urging him to change his ways, repent, and turn to God, though he never did.But today, Wise awoke to a beautiful morning believing he could put all that behind him. That is, until his young friend and neighbor, Attentive, came bounding into his day. It was then Wise realized he must tell the story of the life and death of a very bad man?at least one more time.The Life and Death of Mr. Badman depicts the stages of life-from cradle to grave-of a very wicked man in an evil age and the miserable consequences that undoubtedly follow such wretched living.The book includes the original Bible references and a Bible study guide is available separately for individual and small group use.
