Sinopse

"I love the way Hunt weaves history throughout to bring readers into ancient times. The book is rich in detail, and the characters are fully rendered."--FRANCINE RIVERS, bestselling author of Redeeming Love on The Woman from Lydia 
 
In Nero's Rome, Calandra helps her father, a renowned sculptor, complete the most significant commission of his illustrious career. But then a catastrophic fire nearly destroys the imperial city, leaving Calandra reliant on a group of Christians--unusual individuals unlike any she has encountered before. Intrigued by their worship of the Son of an invisible God, Calandra grapples with her mistrust, only to find herself indebted to these believers as they help her rebuild her shattered world.  
 
When Emperor Nero begins constructing his opulent Golden House, the people of Rome grow resentful, suspecting him of starting the fire in order to clear the land for his immense palace. Needing a scapegoat, Nero points at those who follow the Jewish Messiah, forcing Calandra to make an impossible choice between right and wrong, friends and family, love and death.

    The Life of Adam and Eve, (also known in its Greek version as the Apocalypse of Moses), is a significant Jewish apocryphal writing that tells in colourful detail the fate of Adam and Eve after their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. It provides more detail about the Fall of Man, in which Satan explains that he rebelled when God commanded him to bow down to Adam. Along with its teaching about penitence and atonement for sin, it expresses a clear belief in the resurrection of the dead to a future life. It also recounts the words of Adam and Eve to their children, as they face their approaching deaths.  
    The Life of Adam and Eve was translated by R.H. Charles and published in 1913 as part of “The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament".  
    The Life of Adam and Eve is read by Christopher Glyn, widely appreciated for his inspired reading of the King James Bible and a number of important apocryphal books.

    Often deemed the most enigmatic New Testament book, the book of Revelation overflows with peculiar, intense, and occasionally violent imagery. In today's world of complex cinematic visuals, Revelation might seem like a natural fit, but it isn't. Despite its challenging nature, we must recognize its importance. This book provides a remarkably clear glimpse into God's ultimate design for the entire creation. It shows how Jesus the Messiah's triumph and the resulting costly victory of his followers overcome the powerful evil forces at work, particularly within idolatrous and oppressive political systems. Our modern world is no less complex and perilous than in the late first century, when this book was composed. To be faithful witnesses of God's love in a world rife with violence, hatred and suspicion, we should grasp John's magnificent imagery with both our intellects and our hearts. 
     
    The biblical text is thoughtfully divided into easily manageable sections, ensuring accessibility for listeners of all backgrounds. As you engage with this ancient narrative, you'll discover its timeless resonance with the spiritual quests of today's listeners, whether they are newcomers or seasoned followers of Jesus. Revelation for Everyone is an invaluable companion for exploring the New Testament with renewed enthusiasm and profound insights.

    Why do we feel like we are always performing? Where does this impulse come from? 
    As John Starke shows in The Secret Place of Thunder, our modern world has internalized the idea that the markers of having an admirable and successful life are primarily visible. It leads us to believe that a sense of self-worth and identity are metrics to be displayed. The performance of the self has become more important than the reality. We live as if the most important things about us are to be performed before others; that our deepest happiness will come from being who others think we ought to be. 
    But when Jesus says, "Do not practice your righteousness before others," he is leading us to believe that the most important things about us are hidden. How does the Bible lead us to live primarily before God? How does Jesus lead us to wholeness? 
    Jesus teaches us to live, not for the eyes of others or even for ourselves, but in the secret place where our Father in heaven sees and rewards.
