The story of Sarah - and of history itself - begins in the cradle of civilization: the Sumerian city-state of Ur, a land of desert heat, towering gardens, and immense wealth. The daughter of a powerful lord, Sarah is raised in great luxury, but balks at the arranged marriage her father has planned for her. The groom is handsome and a nobleman, but on their wedding day, Sarah panics and impulsively flees to the vast, empty marshes outside the city walls.

Daniel’s meteoric rise in King Nebuchadnezzar’s court is a two-edged sword.

Envious men want nothing more than to see him and his friends dead.

Based on the book of Acts this is the story of the Apostle Paul's third journey. Told through the eyes of Paul's companion Timothy this is the tale of the journey to Ephesus and Paul's time in the city. Unlike his earlier journeys the third journey is spent mostly in one city where Paul not only raises up a church but trains young men to take on the mission of raising up the next generation of churches after his death. This is also the story of the church in Corinth and Paul's letters to that riotous, chaotic gathering.

And with the “the down and out” Samaritan Woman at the Well, Jesus shows us how to effectively reach those who have been wounded by religion and relationships.

Get ready to laugh! Get ready to tap your toes! Get ready to take a fresh look at what it means to “love your neighbor” and to “turn the other cheek” (not that one, you nitwit!). Set in ancient Jerusalem, SYMPHONY OF LIFE mostly tells the story of Joel, a corrupt tax collector who’s in desperate need of a swift kick in the pants. But there’s also a cadre of irate marketplace vendors all vying to be the one to deliver the humbling blow; a spunky, young widow who wishes she had more than two pitiful mites to cast into the offering box at the temple treasury; a pair of star-crossed lovers.

Poverty, political intrigue, suppression, and undiagnosed and misunderstood health conditions ran rampant, much like they do in our 21st century.

Very little is known of Mephibosheth from Biblical history. We know that he lived during the rise of the new city of Jerusalem, lived in the palace of David, and undoubtedly witnessed the building of Solomon’s Temple. He would have known of David’s adultery with Bathsheba, his songs and psalms, and the challenges to his power from his son Absalom and others. How did this man, falling from prince to pauper, from able-bodied to a cripple, then restored to the king’s palace, navigate such a turbulent journey?

Book three of the Rise of Daniel follows Daniel, Jeremiah, and Nebuchadnezzar through the dark period of the Babylonian Captivity.

Daniel walks a thin line of survival where a single misstep could see him consumed by the evil spirits seeking his life. Such is the danger that even his friendship with Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah is in jeopardy.

On the shore of the Sea of Galilee, in the first century Palestine, a spirit possessed a woman, Mary of Magdala—a generous and learned woman of business. Mary drew together a community of outcasts, rescued from lives of poverty and humiliation. Longing for children, she brought into her circle a Greek slave girl, Demetria, and adopted her as a daughter. Though she was a devout Jew, it was natural for Mary to show compassion to all those who were looked upon as "other"—gentile, prostitute, and leper.

Attingendo sia dall'Antico sia dal Nuovo Testamento e concentrandosi sulla prima parte della esistenza di Gesù, Josè Saramago, con spirito volutamente dissacratorio, modifica gli eventi tramandati dai vangeli canonici, senza rispettarne la cronologia. Il risultato è il racconto della quotidianità di Gesù narrato come uomo, con passioni e dubbi e dei suoi contemporanei nella Palestina del I secolo d.C.

Most of all, in Saul's mind, David must die.

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.
