Susannah : A Tale Of The Christ
$20.61
My novel is historical, woven around the life of Christ, some of His disciples, and a little of John the Baptist. Susanna, the title character, was one of the faithful women in Scripture who followed Him and contributed to His support. In the novel, she is one of the ones He healed, thus enabling her to marry Jacob, her Jewish fiance. Jacob is a wholesale merchant and travels frequently. After he and Susanna are married, they occasionally see the Lord, the Rabbi Jeshua. They also come to know Mary, the Lord’s mother, and learn the vital details of His birth and conception. Follow Jacob as he travels to India to buy jewels for Herod Philip II and meets one of the magi, who saw the Lord at birth. Journey with Susanna as she and other women accompany Christ and His disciples, encountering the hostility of the Jewish high priests and Pharisees and witnessing many of His miracles. She also witnesses Jesus’ crucifixion, after which she is reunited with Jacob and they both see the Lord after His resurrection. I go from the deep disappointment and horror of the crucifixion to the glory and the richness of the coming of the Spirit.

Women Of The Bible Speak
$26.99The women of the Bible lived timeless stories–by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel’s Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.
From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.
The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.
