Download or read book Nicodemus' Quest written by Bill Kincaid and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jewish Supreme Court known as the Sanhedrin had already found Jesus Christ guilty of blasphemy and condemned him to die, setting in motion the events culminating in his death by crucifixion a few hours later. Why then would two of the most influential members of the Sanhedrin risk alienating their colleagues by removing Jesus' body from the cross and giving him a proper burial? Didn't they realize it was a lost cause—that Jesus' death proved he couldn't be either the Messiah or the son of God? Yet Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea risked everything they had worked so hard for throughout their lives by identifying with Jesus at a time when even his friends and disciples had deserted him. What had they learned in their investigations into Jesus' background and ministry that caused them to take such drastic action? For that matter, why had they investigated him in the first place? Is Jesus the Messiah—and what relevance does that have for us two thousand years later? "A compelling, inventive and moving novel ... Extensive biblical, historical, geographical, archeological and linguistic research exudes from each page. Kincaid selected this novel approach--quite literally--as a creative-yet-solid mechanism for reporting key events in Jesus' ministry, as well as his death/burial/resurrection and the launch of the church ... a great story." --Review published in The Baptist Standard "Bill Kincaid has learned well the art of crafting a historical novel. Here is a marvelously readable story that embodies the truth of Jesus the Messiah."--Dr. Paige Patterson, President of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary "Join Nicodemus on his quest. He was waiting for the Messiah. He was seeking the Messiah. He longed to meet the Messiah. Perhaps you can identify with Nicodemus. Haven't you been in his sandals? Haven't you, too, sought Jesus? If you haven't met the Messiah, you will by joining Bill Kincaid on the journey from the Jordan River to the cross. If you have already met the Redeemer, you will be renewed in your faith as you walk with Nicodemus. Bill tells a remarkable story that will touch your heart and strengthen your faith!"-- Bryan Flanagan, VP of Sales and Training, Zig Ziglar Corporation "Bill Kincaid may well become the new John Grisham of Christian fiction. Nicodemus' Quest is an amazing weave of scripture into a spell-binding story of a behind the scenes investigation taken on by Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea. Even though this is a fictional account, the fact of the matter is that it could have actually happened, which makes this book all the more fascinating! This is also great reading because of the accuracy and detail of Jewish customs presented throughout the story."--Dr. Rix W. Tillman, Past President, Southern Baptists of Texas Pastor's Conference"Bill Kincaid has gathered what information and speculation there is about Nicodemus and combined it with Biblical prophecy and extensive research into the Jewish and Roman laws and culture of the times to create a plausible and well-rounded historical fiction about Nicodemus and his interactions with Jesus in 'Nicodemus' Quest.' Kincaid does a great job . . . It is a moving story, and a compelling one, that brings a portion of the Bible to life."--The Sanger Courier

Download or read book Nicodemus written by Charlotte Hinger and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pushed out of the South as Reconstruction ended and as white landowners, employers, and “Redeemer” governments sought to reestablish the constraints of slavery, thousands of African Americans migrated west in search of better opportunities. As the first well-known all-black community on the plains, Nicodemus, Kansas, became a national exemplar of black self-improvement. But Nicodemus also embodied many of the problems facing African Americans during this time. Diverging philosophies within the community, Charlotte Hinger argues, foretold the differences that continue to divide black politicians and intellectuals today. At the time Nicodemus was founded, politicians underestimated the power of African American voters. But three of the town’s black homesteaders—Abram Thompson Hall, Jr., Edward Preston McCabe, and John W. Niles—exerted extraordinary influence over county, state, and national politics. Hinger examines their divergent strategies for leading their community and for relating to white people, which reflected emerging black worldviews across the United States as African Americans grappled with the responsibilities accompanying their new freedom. Hall supported racial uplift, McCabe insisted on achieving equality through politics and legislation, and Niles advocated reparations for slavery. Hall and McCabe, both northerners, had distinguished educations, while Niles, a former slave, was a gifted orator. Their differing approaches to creating a new civilization on the prairie, seeking justice for blacks, and improving the situation of Nicodemus citizens roiled Kansas politics, already in turmoil over temperance and woman’s suffrage. Nicodemus was a microcosm of all the issues facing black Americans in the late nineteenth century, and Hall, McCabe, and Niles are archetypes for powerful philosophies that have persisted into the twenty-first century. This study of their ideas and the ways they shaped Nicodemus offers a novel perspective on the most famous post–Civil War African American community in the West.

Download or read book I, Judas written by Taylor Caldwell and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a #1 New York Times–bestselling author: The story of Judas Iscariot—and the stunning betrayal that changed the course of history. One of the great dramas of the biblical era is brought to thrilling new life in this epic novel told from the unique perspective of Judas Iscariot himself. This is the story of Judas the myth, condemned by Dante to the most terrifying circle of Hell; Judas the man, the son of wealth and power who fought to suppress the lusts of the flesh and the sin of pride to become one of the twelve original disciples of Jesus Christ; and Judas the apostle, victim of a diabolical lie, history’s arch traitor, who sold his Lord for thirty pieces of silver, and sealed his fate with a kiss. From Judas’s years as the young rebel of an affluent family undone by his own idealism to his victimization by Pontius Pilate to the crucifixion and Christ’s resurrection, I, Judas “read[s] like a modern novel of intrigue and thrills” (Chattanooga Times). The final entry, following Dear and Glorious Physician and Great Lion of God, in a trilogy celebrating key historical figures of the Bible, it is one of the most powerful and revelatory works of religious fiction ever published.
Book Synopsis A Stranger in the House of God by : John Koessler
Download or read book A Stranger in the House of God written by John Koessler and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-08-30 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith
Download or read book Nicodemus written by Justin Rutledge and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicodemus was a temple teacher in the Jewish establishment mentioned just three times in the Bible. He sought Jesus, he defended Jesus, and he assisted in Jesus's burial. Even though the religious establishment rejected Jesus, Nicodemus took a keen interest. There has to be a story here. This book fictionalizes different approaches and efforts Nicodemus may have used to discover the truth about Jesus. In addition, there had to be unpleasant confrontations with the Jewish religious establishment. This book also emphasizes Nicodemus's perspective of the mission, death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and what occurred in the establishment of the early Church. Also, a more detailed account is given as to what motivated Judas Iscariot to betray our Lord. It is not my intention to change scriptures in any way. Rather, this story is built around the scriptures.

Download or read book The Letters of Nicodemus written by Jan Dobraczynski and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Letters of Nicodemus is a fictional account of the impact of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ upon one of the lesser New Testament characters, but it is in no way just another recital of a familiar story. Nicodemus is presented as a man of intelligence and great learning, devoted to the law of Moses and to the conventions of his sect, but drawn to the compelling personality of the miracle-worker from Nazareth through the lingering illness of a favorite daughter. Against a convincing and vivid back-ground of Jewish and Roman politics and known Biblical events, Nicodemus' letters to his former teacher, Justus, reveal the subsequent bitter and bewildering struggle his frank incredulity in a Messiah who could never conform to the expectations of the Jewish priesthood, and his deep need to know and to accept the mysteries of Christ's words and deeds. Jan Dobraczynski, one of the leading contemporary novelists in Poland, has written a moving and scholarly interpretation of the growth of belief amongst those in direct contact with Christ. "The Letters of Nicodemus" is a novel which in its profound religious sense and bredth of imagination will appeal to readers of all denominations.
