"Coronation hears of the murders before she even reaches the slave port of Bristol-six boys found with their throats slit. Horrified, she questions the locals' readiness to blame the deaths on Red John, a traveling-man few have actually seen. Corrie yearns to know more about the mystery. But first she has to outsmart the bawds, thieves, and rakes who prey on young girls like her, fresh from the countryside and desperate for work. And when the killer strikes shockingly close, Corrie will have to scheme, eavesdrop, and spy on all around her until the shameful truth is out..."--

Disillusioned with religion? Jesus hasn't left you.The Bible doesn't shy away from stories about how even the seemingly best or most religious Christians can get it wrong. God could have easily omitted these stories, but instead, he chose to magnify the failures of religious people acting foolishly. That's because he's not interested in saving face--he's interested in restoration. In Saints, you'll discover that Jesus isn't fazed by people's mistakes; he's still after relationship and connection with every single one of us.In Saints, we're going to explore: John 3, 7, and 19 Nicodemus, the Pharisee who was disoriented by Jesus' testimony;John 6, 12, 13, and 18 Judas, the disciple who sold Jesus out;John 11 and 18 and Acts 4 Caiaphas, the high priest who was unwilling to steward his power generously;John 18 and 21 Peter, the disciple who denied association with Jesus; andActs 8 and 1 Timothy 1 Paul, the Pharisee who persecuted Christians.The Storyline Bible StudiesWhether you are new to the Christian faith or a seasoned Bible reader, the Storyline Bible Studies guide you through the storyline of Scripture--each following people, places, or things in the Bible.
