They talk of everything they know and dream. Their mothers want them to master the carpentry trade, but the boys reject that. John, now mature, lives alone in the desert. A weakened man, Judas, collapses near his camp. John rescues him and encourages him to seek Jesus. Near Jericho, Judas encounters Jesus, who asks him to join his band of followers. Word comes that Jesus’ cousin, John, has been arrested. Despite the danger, Jesus travels to Jerusalem, where his radical teachings are opposed by many members of the Sanhedrin. He enters the Holy City to welcoming crowds. A wealthy follower, Joseph of Arimathea, invites Jesus and one of his friends to dine with him that evening. Jesus chooses Judas. Thereafter begins the moral degeneration of Judas, leading to his so-called betrayal of Jesus. Lust, greed, anger, and pride enter his mind and heart, which lead tragically to a senseless, condemning act. Finding himself trapped by men far more clever than himself, Judas is presented with a life or death proposition. Is Judas guilty of a betrayal? Or is he betrayed?

| Ahoti : a story of Tamar / a novel by Miriam Feinberg Vamosh & Eva Marie Everson. |
 "A masterful and redemptive retelling of the biblical story of the princess Tamar and her determination to reclaim her life and God-given purpose. Ahoti brings to life the Old Testament story of the biblical princess Tamar, the daughter of David, King of Israel. Tamar's search to overcome humiliation and betrayal after being assaulted by her brother takes her away from her childhood home and forces her to navigate the machinations of royal courts and play a fateful role in the lives of far-off kingdoms. The familiar Bible story ends with Tamar living "desolate" (2 Samuel 13:20), but master storytellers Miriam Feinberg Vamosh and Eva Marie Everson take readers beyond this sorrowful ending to a horizon of hope, thanks to their brilliant adaptation of an ancient anonymous manuscript, purportedly written by Gad the Seer (1 Chronicles 29:29), which was discovered in India in the early 18th century. Beyond the biblical text, this manuscript provides a surprising conclusion, which has powerful modern-day significance. Rich with cultural, biblical, and historic detail, and spiritually compelling, Ahoti will inspire readers to overcome humiliation, pain, betrayal, and bitterness, to embrace a life of purpose"-- Provided by publisher. |

| The British booksellers : a novel of the Forgotten Blitz / Kristy Cambron. |
 "Inspired by real accounts of the Forgotten Blitz bombings, The British Booksellers highlights the courage of those whose lives were forever changed by war—and the stories that bind us in the fight for what matters most. A tenant farmer’s son had no business daring to dream of a future with an earl’s daughter, but that couldn’t keep Amos Darby from his secret friendship with Charlotte Terrington . . . until the reality of the Great War sobered youthful dreams. Now decades later, he bears the brutal scars of battles fought in the trenches and their futures that were stolen away. His return home doesn’t come with tender reunions, but with the hollow fulfillment of opening a bookshop on his own and retreating as a recluse within its walls. When the future Earl of Harcourt chose Charlotte to be his wife, she knew she was destined for a loveless match. Though her heart had chosen another long ago, she pledges her future even as her husband goes to war. Twenty-five years later, Charlotte remains a war widow who divides her days between her late husband’s declining estate and operating a quaint Coventry bookshop—Eden Books, lovingly named after her grown daughter. And Amos is nothing more than the rival bookseller across the lane. As war with Hitler looms, Eden is determined to preserve her father’s legacy. So when an American solicitor arrives threatening a lawsuit that could destroy everything they’ve worked so hard to preserve, mother and daughter prepare to fight back. But with devastation wrought by the Luftwaffe’s local blitz terrorizing the skies, battling bookshops—and lost loves, Amos and Charlotte—must put aside their differences and fight together to help Coventry survive. From deep in the trenches of the Great War to the storied English countryside and the devastating Coventry Blitz of WWII, The British Booksellers explores the unbreakable bonds that unite us through love, loss, and the enduring solace that can be found between the pages of a book." -- Goodreads.com |
