Readers say, "Fascinating, illuminating"..."More than I expected"..."They came to life before my eyes." Having heard the Christmas story told and retold more times than we can count, it is easy to view Mary and Joseph as nothing more than paper people whom we encounter every year on the Christmas cards that crowd our mantle. In Road to Bethlehem, a prelude to his popular Seeds of Christianity Series, E. G. Lewis rounds out this flat, two-dimensional view of Mary and Joseph. In his hands they become real flesh and blood people who live, love and interact with the world around them. Relying upon meticulous research and masterful storytelling, he has crafted a wonderfully entertaining, thought-provoking, and deeply informative novel. Through careful attention to detail he immerses the reader into the daily life of the new carpenter in Nazareth and a young woman named Mary who has caught his eye. There's a beautiful innocence to Mary and her thoughts. The author has a gentle way with words, explaining just enough to intrigue, leading enough to entice. Wise lessons are threaded into the tale...the power of forgiveness, the gift of mercy, and the healing capacity of love. The God of these pages is ever-present in the characters' lives, but never intrusive. You'll come away from this novel with a deep understanding and newfound respect for both Mary and Joseph. Like all of E. G. Lewis' Seeds of Christianity books, Road to Bethlehem is both historically and Biblically accurate. As always, it includes Author's Notes full of interesting insights designed to enhance your reading experience.
Reviewers say: "The best dystopian novel I've ever read." ... "So real, it's frightening."... "Strong characters, both good and evil." ... "Stayed up all night reading - grateful for how it ended." Aktion T4, a largely secret program approved by the Nazis in 1939, was designed to rid the nation of young children deemed unworthy of life. It eventually took the lives of over 200,000 children and laid groundwork for the destruction of millions of Jews and other enemies of the state. Today the world struggles with concepts like quality of life, restricting family size, meaningful medical benefit, and rationing care for the sick and elderly. Where will it end? Fast forward to a time and place where the future meets the past and the abortion/euthanasia movement reaches its inevitable conclusion. In this time of societal darkness, Mira Hastings and Grayson Stevens join a cadre of brave souls standing against a juggernaut of evil by putting their lives on the line to rescue ill-fated youngsters from certain death. In a bold attempt to bring down the beast, they publicly expose the greed and corruption that drives the system. Declared enemies of the state, Mira and Gray are forced underground as they flee the wrath of a vengeful government. While on the run they encounter unknown dangers. But, with the aid of a network of supporters, some providing high-tech assistance, they encounter hope, joy ... and eventually love.
