  Old-time felt-board flannelgraphs, used for Sunday school and children's church lessons in the 70s and 80s, make a modern comeback with two book covers scheduled for release in March. Fixing Abraham by Chris Tiegreen (Tyndale) and Relearning Jesus by Matthew Paul Turner (David C. Cook) seem to both follow the tradition of "rediscovery" books like Phillip Yancey's The Jesus I Never Knew and Lee Strobel's The Case for the Real Jesus (both Zondervan). The book covers also have other similarities, like their two-word titles brought out by plain backgrounds and how-to subtitles ("How Taming Our Bible Heroes Blinds Us To the Wild Ways of God" and "How Reading the Beaititudes One More Time Changed My Life"). Tiegreen's book is new while Turner's is a redesigned re-release of his 2006 release from Revell, Beatitude: Relearning Jesus Through Truth, Contradiction and a Folded Dollar Bill.
