In a lively journey from early Christianity to the present, this book explores how a box of handwritten scrolls became the Bible, and how the multibillion-dollar business that has brought us Biblezines and Manga Bibles is selling down the Book's sacred capital.

"If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans..." ~ Bella, the Movie
I did not plan on writing this book. Thoughts and ideas for three other books took precedence over the years. Each had important messages I felt needed to be shared with the world. I was passionate about those books, but all that changed in an instant on a peaceful Sunday morning when I received a distinct impression that this book needed to be written first.

Throughout his life, Isaac remained a passive tent dweller. He did not go to find a wife; his servant brought a wife to him. He did not go to war; and when conflict arose, he withdrew.

The Holy Spirit is not a force or power-He is a person and one of the Trinity. In fact, Jesus described Him as the one who would come after Him and accompany believers on Earth and...

Did the Christian Church rewrite history?
In the midst of her research on the historical Jesus, scholar Lena Einhorn stumbled upon a surprising find.

Material culture (i.e., artifacts) and the biblical text illuminate each other in various ways, but many of us find it difficult to reach a nuanced understanding of how this process works and how archaeological discoveries should be interpreted.

I wrote so much, and that which I wrote, I absolutely loved, but it was too much, it tipped my hand, it was a spoiler of the story to come. So I hit the delete key to write a simple message instead.
