Early Christianity: A...

Captivating History

What was the starting point of Christianity? Was it in a little town in Bethlehem, just as the lyrics of our favorite Christmas songs contend?  
In truth, in the earliest days of Christianity, when Peter and Paul first set out to preach the gospel, the belief systems of early Christians were viewed as merely a new sect of Judaism. The appellation of “Christian” was a term developed by outside antagonists, which the so-called Christians wore with pride. It took time for Christianity to be fully cleaved away from its mother religion of Judaism.  
A council was held in Jerusalem around 50 CE for the early church leaders to decide what would become the fundamentals of the new faith, such as what old rules and regulations from the Old Testament should remain for new believers. From Christianity’s earliest formation as a separate identity, it began to spread across the known world. The early Christians met in underground churches and, at times, even in graveyards to avoid persecution.  
Yet, their very secrecy often spurned the wildest of rumors. It got to the point where Communion was even mistaken as an act of cannibalism! This led to the rise of Christian apologists, who were tasked with explaining the most fundamental elements to the lay public.  
This book explores all of these aspects of early Christianity and more. In this book, you will learn about the following:	The ministry of Jesus	Who first spread the gospel 	Early Christian outreach to the Greco-Roman world	Christian Gnosticism, Manicheism, and other Christian sects	The struggle of Christian apologists	The early martyrs of the Christian faith	The impact of the Council of Nicaea	How the church survived the fall of the Roman Empire

Rovi - English - The Ember Eyed...

Ellis Sandlin

Rovi is a healthy Bengal Tiger living and hunting in a jungle in India. When chasing an animal for his dinner, he discovered a different world outside his territory- a small village with a mission church and orphanage. The sight of people and the smell of food cooking made him curious. The residents were frightened when they saw Rovi raise his head and roar at the unusual sight. A shot by a villager grazed Rovi's back. 
Rovi became very angry and decided to return the next evening to get revenge. The madder he got, the brighter his eyes shined until they became bright as coals of fire. 
On the path, his attention was drawn to a happy sound in the sky. Santa Claus was happy to see Rovi's eyes and asked him to guide him through the jungle. Anger left him and he was happy to run to the village. 
Santa introduced him to the villagers who welcomed him. His life changed when he became friends with Manbir, a young orphan boy, and they heard the story of the first Christmas from the missionary. 
As Rovi left the village, he roared and the villagers understood that he said, "Think Love!" 
In Rovi's next book, Rovi and Manbir have Christmas dinner with the village and share fun times.
