Jesus at 29: Exemplary Virtues of an Ordinary Man will take you to a simpler time when Jesus was allowed to be just a good man, good father, good son, good boss, and a good teacher. His message of inclusiveness was not well-received among his peers at the time. Yet, it was central to his core doctrine. It is as relevant today as it was 2000 years ago.

Having escaped a violent childhood, Enya is safe living with her husband’s powerful clan.

Still, she clings to the hope that the church’s influence will eradicate any trace of her bloodline’s temperament. The monks rename him Columcille, which means "dove of the church".

In ancient Palestine, three survivors struggle to find solace in a world of injustice and repression. Azara is studious and committed to her ideals.

Separated by miles of dangerous lands, and decades of turbulent history, these three wandering souls set off on a journey beyond their imagination. Their travels will test their faith and culminate in an encounter with a rabbi from Galilee, who upends their lives with his revolutionary message.

In Rachel & Leah, Orson Scott Card paints vivid portraits of four celebrated women—Laban's daughters, Rachel and Leah; Bilhah, the orphaned servant; and Zilpah, an ambitious member of Laban's household. Into the desert camp comes Jacob, a handsome and charismatic kinsman who is clearly destined to be Rachel's husband. But that doesn't prevent the other woman from vying for his attention. Tracing their lives from childhood to maturity, Card shows how these women change in relationship to each other and how they are changed again by the holy books that Jacob brings with him.

Can either accomplish this feat when Babylon is the heart of the worship of Lucifer and his demons?

The Twin is the fictional retelling of the story of Jesus of Nazareth from the point of view of Thomas Didymus, known to most as Doubting Thomas. The narrative draws upon the belief of many that Jesus traveled to Kashmir during the “missing” years of his youth, studied Buddhism, and then returned to Galilee to begin his ministry.

O evangelho segundo Maria Madalena é um retrato feminista, corajoso e sensual de uma mulher livre, cujo papel na fundação do cristianismo acabou sendo apagado ao longo dos séculos pelos homens da Igreja.

Somehow the message of Jesus as a reconciler of all people has been bungled by the American church. Labels like racist, homophobic, misogynistic, anti-intellectual, and partisan are how the church has come to be portrayed in today’s media. But these descriptors couldn’t be further from the truth of who Jesus is. Through this rich and raw collection, we are taken inside the minds of some lesser-known followers of Jesus from Scripture.

In a systemic era where the nation seemed to have forgotten the biblical standards set forth by Father God, tensions were high. Families struggled to maintain normalcy amid immorality and injustice. Seth and Gloria Echols were no exception. Like other families that stood on the word of God, they purposed to do the same. Yet, as the nation began to tear away from the very heart of God, they faced yet another crisis: Their marriage was falling apart. How would they sustain the normalcy that modeled the definition of Christianity in the face of a national crisis?

One of the most common arguments against Christianity is that the God of the Old Testament seemed so drastically different than the God of the New Testament. In the Old, many claim He seemed cruel and capricious, while in the New, He suddenly became a God of love and tolerance. Yet Jesus said, “If you’ve seen Me, you’ve seen the Father”, and the writer of Hebrews tells us that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever”. If God hasn’t changed, how do we explain the apparent difference? The answer lies in a long-forgotten word: covenant.

New Jerusalem stands sealed away from a world destroyed by disease and war, but their Orator Nebuchadnezzar has led them astray from what built their utopia. In the wake of his pride, a new disease began ravaging the city until one of the seven Localities needed to be sealed off for the good of the others.

Consider how the world would react or the concerns that would be raised if Jesus were a woman teacher and prophet today. That is a question I address in my book Jaycee. Serenity is a tiny town in which the story takes place. (Anywhere in the United States.) The problems and challenges that Jaycee and her companions encounter are contemporary and relevant to us today. I've long questioned why women aren't permitted to be priests and why they aren't as revered in the Catholic Church as males have been for centuries.
