When the daughter of a prominent Roman general meets a disinherited Jewish immigrant, neither one can dream of God’s plan to transform them into the most influential couple of the early church. Nor can they anticipate the mountains that will threaten to bury them. Their courtship unwittingly shadowed by murder and betrayal, Priscilla and Aquila slowly work to build a community of believers, while their lives grow increasingly complicated thanks to a shaggy dog, a mysterious runaway, and a ruthless foe desperate for love. But when they’re banished from their home by a capricious emperor, they must join forces with an unusual rabbi named Paul and fight to turn treachery into redemption.
With impeccable research and vivid detail, Daughter of Rome is both an emotive love story and an immersive journey through first-century Rome and Corinth, reminding readers once again why Debbie Macomber has said that “no one brings the Bible to life like Tessa Afshar.”

Killing A Messiah
$22.00Add to cartAs Passover approaches, the city of Jerusalem is a political tinderbox. Judah, a resistance leader, plots to overthrow the Roman occupation. Eleazar and his father, the high priest Caiaphas, seek peace in the city at all costs. Pilate, the Roman governor, maneuvers to keep order (and his own hold on power). Caleb, a shopkeeper, is reluctantly caught up in the intrigue. When rumors start spreading about the popular prophet Jesus, hailed by many as the Messiah, Roman and Jewish leaders alike fear unrest and violence during the upcoming festival. Then, in the midst of this tension, unexpected alliances emerge. In Killing a Messiah, New Testament scholar Adam Winn weaves together stories of historical and fictional characters in a fresh reimagining of the events leading up to Jesus’ execution. Based on what we know of the first-century context, Winn’s narrative offers compelling explanations for gaps in the Gospel accounts. The social, political, and religious realities of Jesus’ world come to life and shed new light on our reading of the biblical texts. In a city full of political entanglements, espionage, and competing interests, the blame for the crucifixion is complex and can’t land on just a single party. It takes more than one to kill a messiah.

Job 2.0 : God And Lucifer Battle Again For A Single Soul
$6.99Add to cartGod and Lucifer are at it again! More than three millennia after their first contest, the creator of the Universe and his highest errant minion are struggling once again over the fate of a single soul. For this battle the center of their attention is not God’s most favored servant. Rather it is an everyday person. What could this rematch mean for human kind when a nobody is in Lucifer’s crosshairs? More importantly, what does it mean for you?JOB 2.0 is an updated retelling of JOB, the oldest book in the Bible. It takes place in modern times, using every-day language and ordinary life situations. Lucifer challenges God to another test of one of God’s faithful. Lucifer chooses Jake (Jacob Osborne Brown, Junior, or JOB II), who loses everything in the course of the challenge. To rid himself of his old life and the values it reflected, Jake has a yard sale, during which his neighbors and friends stop by to provide their insights into why his life fell apart. Through seven conversations, and interjections from God and Lucifer, the characters share insights into the nature of God, the definition of evil, an explanation of sin, the role of choice in one’s life, the recognition of individual responsibility, the sovereignty of God, the importance of faith, the power of prayer, the comfort of faith, and the search for spiritual truth.In the last conversation, Jake has the opportunity to ask God all the questions he wants answered. God provides the understanding Jake seeks, explaining the relationship between God and humans, our purpose, the nature of love, the importance of repentance, and finally, (re)unification with Himself.JOB 2.0 explains our relationship with God in a truly humorous manner yet is not preachy. Instead, it encourages self-examination and rigorous thought while being utterly entertaining. It is perfect for young adults as well as mature readers; it is appropriate for unchurched as well as churched populations; it is perfect for those seeking meaning in their lives as well as those who have defined their spiritual life. It is perfect for gift-giving anytime, but especially for coming-of-age and other life-stage moments, as well as during traditional gift-giving holidays.One reader described it as, “Funny, yet deep and serious. The relationship between God, Job and Lucifer are pure imagination and done so well.” Another reader said, “I love how it manages to offer fresh illumination with Lucifer challenging God and Logic in every conceivable way u

Benaiah : Mighty Man Of God
$21.99Add to cartWhat happens when the king’s most obedient soldier is issued a wicked command?
Benaiah is valiant against men and beasts. He is known for three heroic deeds that lead to his appointment in the elite force of David’s Mighty Men: aggressively going down into a pit on a snowy day to kill a lion; fighting two Moabite ariels; and challenging a giant Egyptian, armed with only a staff, and killing him with the man’s own spear. When David is crowned king, Benaiah is made his chief bodyguard and eventually head of the whole army of Israel under King Solomon.
Reeling from the tragic cost of disobedience when he was young, Benaiah directs his life toward one chief aim: to be found a faithful, loyal, valiant and obedient soldier, servant of the King and follower of Yahweh.
But when “just following orders” leads to his part in adultery, murder and death, he questions his life’s direction. If both obedience and disobedience cause death, how can he ever find redemption?

Gospel Of Thomas The Younger
$26.95Add to cartRare Bird Books A Vireo Book
Think you know the story of Jesus? Peter? Paul? Think again.
In 1945, a trove of ancient papyrus books was discovered in Egypt. Among them was the Gospel of Thomas. This new Gospel, that of Thomas (the Younger), was not found at Nag Hammadi, but also claims to have been written by an eyewitness–a nephew of the man now called the Christ.
Over the course of his long life, Thomas (the Younger) watched the mythology that grew up around the very human man he traveled with and saw die on a cross become the basis for a religion that Jesus himself would never have accepted. Then, in his Gospel, he gave us his uncle’s true message along with all the blood-chilling drama of those times.
Translator Timothy X. Hardesty, PhD, fully annotates this alternative history of the major players on the first-century stage in this humane, rational, and thought-provoking novel of truly epic proportions and spiritual vision. The Gospel of Thomas (the Younger) might just change your perspective…and your life. -
