Description
Zebedee’s Calling brings 11th Century England to life, with key battles and royal successions, as well as the efforts among a group of zealous Christians to have access to Scripture written in English. Along with revelations about rulers, military tactics and the Church, there also are descriptions of Anglo-Saxon society and daily life. Although this story is historical fiction, it parallels our time. The accounts of Christian leaders and martyrs who strove to make the Bible accessible to the people draw attention to the immeasurable value of Scripture, and how blessed we are to possess it today.
About the Author:
Author Joel Francis was born into a God-loving, Bible-believing Christian family in India, and emigrated with his family to Canada when he was a young boy. Learning about the history of the Church and attending a Catholic high school inspired him to write his first book, Zebedee’s Calling. Joel conveys the eternal truths he continues learning about God through his writing, and he wishes to serve and glorify Him in every sphere of life. Joel lives with his parents and brother. He graduated from the University of Toronto with majors in applied statistics and economics, and a minor in mathematics.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"A rare, historically accurate fictional epic that is an inspiration for today’s youth, Zebedee’s Calling represents Joel’s unique approach to story-telling and stimulates both introspection and action: What is the place of the Bible in today’s society? What is our obligation to ensure people have access to the Holy Scriptures? And most importantly, what can the coming generation do to re-ignite our passion for God, for country, and for the salvation of the world?" —Andrew Friedel, President, Christian Fellowship Church of Kitchener-Waterloo
"Joel Francis has written an exciting, action-filled story of a young hero, Zebedee, whose courage and loyalty are challenged in the face of danger. Decision-making, family values, trustworthy friendships, and a growing faith are blended together to make this historically-based story a must read for any young reader." —Pastor Paul G. Knauer, BS, BEd, MA in Christian School Administration, MDiv.
