Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the fantasies created in the mind of an apathetic church attendee who reimagines the possibility that Jesus in the New Testament was actually the creation of a famous Judean street performer, Yeshua is the story of how the character of Jesus in theater emerges as an iconic celebrity whose dramatic reenactments of well-known stories in the New Testament challenge and threaten the current social and political order of the first half of the century. The growing popularity of the Jesus character in Yeshua’s performances occurs alongside his romantic relationship with Alexia, the daughter of a Roman aristocrat. As the crowds attending Yeshua’s performances increase exponentially, they eventually capture the attention of the Roman emperor. After a series of dangerous encounters, death, and sacrifice, Yeshua’s character will be revered in history for all of eternity as the one who inspired people beyond their imagination.

Download or read book The Untold Story of Jesus written by and published by Urantia Press. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus comes to life in this fascinating modern biography excerpted from The Urantia Book. Many of these historical stories are familiar to readers of the New Testament but dozens are new, including the missing years not found in the Bible. Here you discover Jesus presented as never before, both as divine Son and human hero whose matchless life inspires, comforts, and transforms you. It is beautifully written in modern, page-turning prose and complemented with 106 paintings from 35 renowned artists, including 42 originally commissioned works you will see for the first time. The paintings run the gamut of fine art celebrating the life of Christ, both classic and modern. These artists poured their souls into these portraits of higher spiritual reality. Our deep appreciation and humble gratitude go out to each one of them. These paintings illustrate Jesus' life journey from his humble birth and childhood to adolescence and manhood; from private to public ministry and on to his death, resurrection, and ascension. The artwork celebrates his diverse life as son, father-brother, carpenter, boat designer and builder, tutor, translator, caravan conductor, teacher, healer, minister, and friend. No one knows what Jesus looked like, but these artists painted their soulful interpretations to spark our imagination of these scenes from the Master's life. Our intent is to give you a visual communion with Jesus that complements the enthralling narrative. This impeccably designed book provides relevant and empowering spiritual insights, helping you navigate the challenging yet promising conditions of the 21st century. We live in an exciting era of unprecedented improvements in our material lives brought about by scientific, industrial, and social achievements. Yet despite all this progress, many souls feel lonely and displaced. We need God and have an innate thirst for spiritual answers because of that "still, small voice" that lives within us. Finding God by living the personal religion of Jesus satisfies that thirst. The search for the genuine Jesus continues to intrigue humanity. Since the Bible only records an estimated 50 days of his life, it follows that there is more to his story. You will find it here in this detailed history of the Master's entire life, including the public ministry recorded in the Gospels. It provides a coherent and seamless biography of this magnificent personality who continues to shape spiritual progress in our world. The story of Jesus is one of the most enthralling chapters in human history. The closing passage of the Apostle John's gospel speaks to a life larger than even the world itself. How fitting that the last words of his gospel should be the first words of this book: "But there are also many things which Jesus did; were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself would not contain the books that would be written." In John's day the Word was made flesh. In these days the Word is made book. The Untold Story of Jesus reveals the living Christ to members of the church that bears his name, as well as to worshipers of all world religions. It is sure to become a favorite volume for all who seek God.

Download or read book Saving Jesus written by Frank Becker and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-23 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They followed the wondrous Star a thousand torturous miles to help save the Christ child from the fury of a jealous king. For over a century the Jews of Palestine were victims in a tug of war between Imperial Rome and the mighty Parthian Empire. As a result, the Jewish people seethed with rebellion and waited impatiently for the Messiah they dreamed would deliver them. But while the Palestinians simmered, a group of Wise Men far to the East began following a wondrous Star, only to find themselves embroiled in a cauldron of political and religious intrigue, their lives in danger. Those Jewish "Wise Men" were heirs of the "Sages" of Old. They had advised kings, instructed the young, and penned the books of Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes.* "Saving Jesus" is the untold story of the Wise Men who defied the world's rulers by delivering the means to save the baby Jesus from the wrath of King Herod. Whether you consider it legend or legacy, the biblical account of the Wise Men is well attested, and the child they visited ultimately changed the history of the world. Jeremiah listed the Wise Men with the Priests and the Prophets, and considered their ministry to be vital to the practical and philosophical life of Israel (See Jeremiah 18:18).

Download or read book Desire of the Everlasting Hills written by Thomas Cahill and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2010-04-28 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of How the Irish Saved Civilization comes a compelling historical narrative about Jesus—an obscure rabbi from a backwater of the Roman Empire who became the central figure in Western Civilization. "Divertingly instructive...gratifying...[Cahill] makes Jesus a still-living literary presence." —The New York Times In his subtle and engaging investigation into the life and times of Jesus, Thomas Cahill shows us Jesus from his birth to his execution through the eyes of those who knew him and in the context of his time—a time when the Jews were struggling to maintain their beliefs under overlords who imposed their worldview on their subjects. Here is Jesus the loving friend, itinerate preacher, and quiet revolutionary, whose words and actions inspired his followers to journey throughout the Roman world and speak the truth he instilled—in the face of the greatest defeat: Jesus' crucifixion as a common criminal. Daring, provocative, and stunningly original, Cahill's interpretation will both delight and surprise.

Download or read book Yeshua written by Douglas DoNascimento and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-04 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book we observe the historical facts, the myths and the enormous distractions that have attempted to remove His meaning from His name. And the true plan of salvation. Before the foundation of the world his name was established in Hebrew. As the only person to ever choose to be born as a Jew. His identity as the Savior of mankind has been dragged through history and mixed with politics, culture, traditions and opinions. He chose to put on flesh and live among us. But, not just anywhere, in Israel. Today, he still identifies as the lion of the tribe of Judah. The King of kings gave him a specific name. A name so special and so meaningful that by that name alone, whoever believes in him would be saved. So, the Father gave His Son the name "Salvation." So, why do most people call him by other names? Does it matter? How did it start? Who is this Jewish man and how is he different from the Jesus we mostly hear about? His truth has been hidden by the falsities of this world. And as people forget what truth is, they create their own truth. He was a Jewish man and the only person to ever choose to be born as a Jew. He could have chosen to be born anywhere in the world, under any set of circumstances and any culture. Yet, he chose Bethlehem in the region of Judah. His choice didn't start when he was born and it didn't end when he died. His objective was not to create a new religion. But rather to establish and point a lost people to "the way" back to the Father. In this book we observe the historical facts, the myths and the enormous distractions that have attempted to remove His meaning from His name and the true plan for salvation. In this book, we focus on the Son of the Almighty God. The God of Abraham. Who He is, was and is to come. As churches become businesses, preachers become managers and worship becomes about us, the Name Above All Names is our only Salvation. Rabbi Douglas

Book excerpt: Brake and Beach invite the reader to “time travel” into the first century, the world of an ordinary family facing extraordinary challenges, as they grapple with young Jesus’s developing self-awareness and preparation for His divine mission. “With biblical and historical accuracy, insightful sanctified imagination and brilliant storytelling, Brake and Beach foreshadow what we know with certainty from the New Testament. Get ready for epiphanies aplenty.” —David Sanford, executive editor of four Bibles published by Zondervan and Tyndale House “In these pages, you are welcomed inside the home of a young son of Israel who is “growing in wisdom and stature.” Do step inside. Smell the morning bread baking. Feel the daily tension living in small-town Nazareth where the brutal Roman military is stationed. Reect on the love, and the fear, and the faith of a family living amid oppressive pain from multiple sources—politics, the economy, and religion. And see the young boy blossom into the grown man who is the Savior of the world and its Deliverer. “I want to know my Lord more intimately. Don Brake has helped me. Reecting on some of the pages here, I walked today where Jesus walked.” —Stu Weber, pastor, author, and retired US Army awarded three Bronze Stars as a Green Beret in Vietnam. He is a best-selling author of several Gold Medallion nalist books. “Brake writes as a scribe, communicating the scenes as they’re happening, yet making readers privy to under currents with powerful ramications. Yes, this is a novel, but it is also devotional, study, and inspiration to draw us nearer to the One they called, Yeshua.” —Mesu Andrews, Novelist of nine biblical character novels
