Becoming more human by the hour, Achava can no longer Soul Merge and must rely on her half-sister, Anthea, for such travels. Sam doubts Achava can battle evil without her supernatural abilities.

Thousands of years ago, just before God flooded the Earth, a man of faith took his family and many animals onto an ark he built in order to survive the coming deluge.

Daniel’s meteoric rise in King Nebuchadnezzar’s court is a two-edged sword. Yahweh has greatly blessed Daniel and his friends, and they have found much favor in the eyes of the Babylonian king, but it has come at a cost. Daniel has made powerful enemies who seek to destroy him and any influence he has over the king of Babylon. Dark forces are moving into position around Daniel. Envious men want nothing more than to see him and his friends dead.

The Gospel According to Judas, by Benjamin Iscariot, sheds new light on the mystery of Judas (including his motives for the betrayal and what happened to him after the crucifixion) by retelling the story of Jesus through the eyes of Judas, using the canonical texts as its basic point of reference. Ostensibly written by Judas' son, Benjamin, and following the narrative style of the Gospels, this re-creation is provocative, compelling, and controversial.

Based on the holy bible and representing a new and innovative genre of bible literature, this scripturally-based yet fictionally-portrayed book is about 26 people, written from the perspective of those who were directly or indirectly involved with Jesus the Christ. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were spectators who participated in the miraculous events associated with Jesus' life. Their stories, completed in the first century, are eyewitness accounts of Jesus interacting with, ministering to, and helping people.

Two thousand years ago, when the Romans came to arrest Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, the disciple Peter cut off the ear of an innocent man. Jesus rebuked Peter and quickly healed the servant's ear - and the Sword of Peter took on supernatural powers. Fast forward to modern day where a Biblical archaeology quest for the Sword of Peter is imperative to both Israel and to the Christian world.

Jesus' apostles were not particularly remarkable men at first glance: fishermen, carpenters, even tax collectors! And yet he said, "It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain" (John 15:16). Little is known for certain about what happened to each of them following the Resurrection, yet ancient traditions abound. What were their final moments like in this life? How did each apostle summon such astounding courage to face trial, tribulation, and martyrdom?

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. When her long-awaited son is born, she must fulfill a vow made in desperation—the boy is dedicated to God, and goes to live with the local priest. 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 una fortezza nell'alto dei cieli gli angeli della Guardia Reale, guerrieri dello spirito, soldati azzurri con giubbe e calzari, fanatici delle missioni esclusive, sono riuniti in attesa del prossimo incarico. La chiamata arriva, il prescelto è Gabriele, che dovrà far brillare nuovamente lalleanza tra Dio e gli uomini, annunciando l'arrivo del Figlio. Comincia così la grande riscrittura dei Vangeli da parte di Eraldo Affinati, uno dei principali autori italiani che ha scelto di credere nell'educazione dedicando le proprie energie agli alunni più difficili.

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.

"Evas bog" er en åbenbaring. Ikke fordi den har emne fra Biblen, men fordi Marianne Fredriksson er en ægte og stor fortæller. Hun beretter om, hvordan Eva havde det, da Kain havde slået Abel ihjel, og Adam bare gik ud i lunden og talte med sin gud. Ingen i familien kunne leve videre uanfægtet, og for Eva var det nødvendigt at søge tilbage til barndommens Paradis - eller hvad det nu var - og ind i sig selv. Det bliver en lang rejse, indimellem skræmmende og undertiden betagende, men til slut kan hun vende hjem og fortsætte det liv, som er hendes.

Book one of the Rise of Daniel follows Daniel, Jeremiah, and Nebuchadnezzar at the beginning of the Babylonian Captivity. Daniel, merely a boy of fourteen, is thrust into a world of conspiracy and evil when Jeremiah the prophet predicts the coming of the powerful Babylonian prince, Nebuchadnezzar, to conquer Jerusalem. The kingdom of Judah has turned her back on the God of Israel, trusting in the Egyptians and the gods of the heathen nations around them.

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 has gained favor within Nebuchadnezzar’s court, but this creates envy in those who resent his rise to power. An array of evil spirits arises against him, threatening to destroy him, his friends, and his people. 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.
