Book excerpt: TO PROVE HIS LOYALTY and in revolt against his tax-collector father's plans for his future, Benji sneaks away to join the Sicarii ("dagger-men") who want to throw off the Roman occupation of Israel. Their curved swords make them some of the most feared ? and admired ? men in the land. Benji imagines a glorious uprising with himself wielding a sharp sica. However, his running off leads to Joss' rapidly increasing lying. Ransom demands on his rich father. A deadly skirmish against a Roman platoon. And Yesshua's amazing new double miracle. In this series based on the Gospel story, three ordinary young people - and their arch-enemy - try to uncover the secret of Yeshua's "miracles" for their own purposes. As the new Teacher ("Magic-Maker," some call him) does wondrous things, the friends reckon his two terrorist disciples, Judas Iscariot and Simon the Canaanite, will join them in making Yesshua king, driving out the Romans and rescuing Israel. Read-aloud. Ages 8-12. Marian Clark, a ten times great-grandmother, is a veteran missionary. She loves writing novels, opportunities to interpret for her Hispanic friends, organ music, and the Red Raider basketball team. She now lives in the Midwest, but travels every chance she gets.

Download or read book Acts The Holy Spirit at Work written by Practical Christianity Foundation and published by Practical Christianity Foundation. This book was released on 2020-08-08 with total page 1111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holy Spirit at work The Gospel is spreading In this powerful narrative, Luke records specific historical events marking the crucial moments of transition from Jesus’ physical departure from earth (ascension) to the coming of the Holy Spirit to earth, focusing on the commission of the apostles and the beginning of the ministry of the Church of Jesus Christ in spreading the Gospel beyond Jerusalem to the ends of the world. Luke outlines an investigative historical narrative, detailing the works of the Holy Spirit through the apostles – primarily Peter, Stephen, and Paul. Although Luke’s narrative was addressed to an individual Acts 1:1, it is equally relevant to the Church of Jesus Christ across the ages. This verse-by-verse devotional study, complete with engaging commentary and practical life applications, will renew your appreciation of the grace of God in your own life and challenge you to pursue a closer walk with Christ. As you embark on this journey, surrender yourself to the living Word of God to inspire you to share the fundamental message of the gospel with others: we are reconciled to the Father not by our works, but only by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This extensive Devotional Commentary candidly addresses various controversial issues and offers challenging devotional thoughts and precepts, assuring the redeemed and warning the unsaved about the unchanging Truth of God's Holy Word. May we heed the words of Christ and open our ears to "hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

Download or read book The Blood of Lambs written by F.V. Hank Helmick and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-08-17 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Blood of Lambs is a biblical historical fictional novel about the life of Saint Stephen, the first martyr as written about in the Acts of the Apostles pages 6&7. Stephen was a rich mans dissolute son from Alexandria with the face of an angel. Accompanied by his two brothers Benjamin and Nabal, they set sail for Israel where they meet Acacius ben Xanthine an agnostic soldier of fortune. They defend themselves from an attack by brigands led by Antigonis the One Eyed and Adder the mysterious deadly little killer who is the secret leader of the Sicariia deadly band of Zealot cutthroats, who plays both ends against the middle. Antigonis as an Avenger of the Blood creates an enmity between the two groups that threads its way throughout the entire story. Acacius stumbles upon a plot led by Simon Magus the Magician to conquer the world. He works with the leader of the Roman Legion Italica II, the Tribune Julian Lombard to uncover the plot. Myra the Madam is the only person to ever escape from the secret cave of Antigonis and she is dedicated to avenge her friends murders by Adder and Antigonis. The setting for the story is Israel at the time of Christs Passion. Stephen meets and is infatuated by Jeshua and becomes a disciple and meets the beautiful and vivacious Michal. Rabbi Agamemnon, the leader of the Synagogue of Roman Freemen lines himself up with Simon Magus. Both Adder and Antigonis are subjected to the prophetic curse of their prostitute victim Miriam, a cousin of a witch in the lineage of the Witches of Endor. The story follows the historical events of the era. The myths, mysticism and miracles of the early Church are played upon throughout the story. The author has been scrupulous in the use of authentic historical data, which is the only thing too which he will take pride.

Download or read book Josephus the Jewish War Newly Translated with Extensive Commentary and Archaeological Background Illustrations written by Gaalyahu Cornfeld and published by Zondervan Publishing Company. This book was released on 1982 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Josephus' account of a war marked by treachery and atrocity is a superbly detailed and evocative record of the Jewish rebellion against Rome between AD 66 and 70. Originally a rebel leader, Josephus changed sides after he was captured to become a Rome-appointed negotiator, and so was uniquely placed to observe these turbulent events, from the siege of Jerusalem to the final heroic resistance and mass suicides at Masada. His account provides much of what we know about the history of the Jews under Roman rule, with vivid portraits of such key figures as the Emperor Vespasian and Herod the Great. Often self-justifying and divided in its loyalties, "The Jewish War" nevertheless remains one of the most immediate accounts of war, its heroism and its horrors, ever written.
