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?

Das »Buch der Bücher« erzählt von nicht wenigen kühnen und erstaunlichen Frauen, angefangen bei Vasthi, die auf ihre Weise einzigartig ist. Anders als Eva verweigert sie sich ihrem Herrn und trägt die Folgen dieses Ungehorsams, was sie aus der Geschichte ausscheiden lässt.

Miriam! What a fascinating person. What a joy it has been to unpack her life story. I do hope you find her as enthralling as I did. The previous book, Miriam Part I: Devoted Sister, told of a little girl who saved the life of her baby brother, Moses. We traced her girlhood years as she faced the horrors of belonging to a large and rapidly-growing nation of slaves, owned and ill-treated by the Pharaoh of Egypt. Despite their conditions her parents, Amram and Jochebed, managed to instill in their daughter a rich faith in the one true God, Yahweh. This book takes up Miriam's story at around ...

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.

This is the unexplored story of Delilah, Samson's lover and enemy. Everyone knows how she took him down, but do you know the backstory? There are so many things in between the Scriptures that we pass over, which would give us a better understanding of what is happening and why things are happening. Discover what the Bible hints at when they speak of Delilah and Samson. This fun biographical narrative is based on the Book of Judges in the Bible. Plus learn about the Nazarite Vow and how to carry it out in modern times.

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.

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.

Das biblische Gleichnis vom verlorenen Sohn (Lukas 15, 11-32) ist einer der populärsten Texte des Neuen Testaments. In neueren Übersetzungen wird es auch als "Gleichnis von den beiden Söhnen" bzw. "Von der Liebe des Vaters" bezeichnet. So weit die Bibel. Ihr geht es vor allem um Gott als den liebenden Vater. Der in die Welt gezogene und reumütig zurückgekehrte Sohn ist halt ein Sünder, der sich zu schämen hat. Was aber war wohl eigentlich seine Motivation, das Vaterhaus zu verlassen? Und was mag die Mutter gedacht, empfunden haben, von der im Gleichnis gar keine Rede ist?

What can we learn by watching Jesus respond to his mother, when she asks him for help, and he changes the water into wine? What is Jesus saying to Nicodemus, “the up and in,” about being born again and the Spirit? 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.
