BOOK 4: GENESIS… imagine stepping onto the shoreline and finding out it's Heaven

Have you ever read your Bible and stop, go back to the beginning and reread it? Do you ever find that there is no WOW? No impact. No overwhelming thought that strikes you because it is so hard to understand at times.

You're not alone.

Memories growing up with my grandmother, the Reverend Ada Caston Slaton Bonds, shed complete light on the many Books of the Bible. She was a great storyteller, just like Jesus, when he spread the word of God in parables. Be it Easter, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, or Christmas, she always had a story to tell and practiced her Sunday morning sermons preaching her discourse to my brothers and me just outside Mansfield, Louisiana.

No longer do you or your children have to read the Bible until something "hits" you. The fourth novel in the Faith Chronicles' Bible Study series portrays a fresh approach to the scriptures…a down to earth storytelling of the words of God beginning with, well, the beginning.

BOOK 5: HALLELUJAH… HE IS NOT HERE; HE HAS RISEN

"And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher. They entered in and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. It came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. As they were afraid and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, 'Why do you seek the living among the dead?'"– Luke 24: 2-5 (KJV)

Jesus Christ is the most well-known name in the world! He is the only man to have walked the earth, and his story told to in hundreds upon hundreds of different ways over the last two thousand years. No matter who you talk to, everyone has heard about him and his many miracles and his deeds. Since little was written about Jesus in his first thirty years, this novel will begin when he was first baptized by John the Baptist, a cousin of Jesus.

Our exciting story begins on Jesus' thirtieth birthday.

BOOK 6: SEEING THE POWER OF GOD – The Dominance of the Unspoken Word

God's Word is a fiery, exploding, all-pervading, and living message that should cause us all to fall down to the ground and tremble… yet that is rarely the experience for so many dispirited people of God!

After writing Genesis and Hallelujah, I became one of those people who asked, "Can anyone be a Christian and not believe in the Bible? Is it wrong to question any of the scriptures in the Bible?

Some people believe questioning the Bible, the direction God is going, or even God himself, is blasphemy. Some think it's a sign of disbelief.

Daniel Thornton is one such man. He believes his son, Rusty Thornton, is lost without God and takes him to a faraway place in the early 1950s near Spicewood, Texas, where he would never come in contact with people. He has an old King James Version of the Bible and began to try and cure his son's affliction of skepticism.

Rusty Thornton remembers nothing before his eighteenth birthday. The first book he read after learning to read and write was on Hinduism. His father didn't know how such a book ended up in his library. He took it and hid it from his son, but not until he had read it from cover to cover. Was it too late for his son? Did what he learned about Vishnu and Krishna absorb his entire thought process where he never recognized Jesus Christ as the one and only son of God? Who's right, Daniel Thornton or his son?
