Book Description
Each Christmas, adults and children alike delight at the story of the kings from the East who followed the star to Bethlehem to offer gifts to the newborn Christ. While this familiar tale is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, another little-known version later emerged that claimed to be the eyewitness account of the wise men. This ancient manuscript has lain hidden for centuries in the vaults of the Vatican Library, but through the determined persistence of a young scholar, Brent Landau, this astonishing discovery has been translated into English for the very first time as the Revelation of the Magi. Everything we know about the wise men is based on only a few verses from the Bible. With the Revelation of the Magi, we can now read the story from the Magi's perspective. Readers will learn of the Magi's prophecies of God's incarnation from the beginning of time, their startling visitation in the form of a star, the teachings they receive from the baby Jesus, and the wise men's joyous return to their homeland to spread the good news. This ancient version of the Christmas story is guaranteed to astonish and delight. It will also raise larger questions of the significance and meaning of Christ's birth, and the mission to spread the good news to every corner of the globe. All the drama and intrigue of the brief description of Jesus's birth in the Bible is filled out in greater, more colorful detail, offering for the first time the complete story of these beloved characters.

Book Description
Revised 2016 Edition: Despite the sensational nature of its subject, Lost in Translation: Rediscovering the Hebrew Roots of our Faith is written in simple, clear, rational language that relies 100 percent on the Bible as the ultimate authority. The book's authors clear away centuries of confusion surrounding subjects that are seldom addressed in modern sermons and Bible studies. Using the ancient Hebrew language and culture, the authors clarify many of the Bible's so-called "mysteries" and help the reader rediscover many of the foundational truths that have been "lost in translation." Topics include: - Who is the Bride of Messiah? - Is there a difference between covenant and testament? - Israel: Who are they really? - What is the difference between devils, demons, and nephilim? Join us on an exciting adventure to rediscover the treasures still buried within the pages of The Book that reveal the pathway to the heart of God. "A must-read for the church! Providing foundational insights which lead to a greater understanding of God's master plan, this book will open your eyes to scriptural distortions due to the centuries of Greek influence on the church." - Corey Berti, Senior Pastor, Silver Valley Worship Center, ID "I've been a believer for 12 years, and I've read numerous scriptures that didn't make sense. The authors do a tremendous job of explaining the importance of understanding our Hebrew roots which provide context and clarity to the overall theme of God's message. It's like watching TV in black and white and then suddenly seeing it in color. The truth hasn't changed, but it's meaning becomes more vivid." - Jason Carr

Book Description
Providing us with the only known revelation of the Gospel according to substitution-a new and exciting interpretation of biblical truth-Ira Messenger is probably the most controversial theologian of our day. Author of the books "The Wrong Turn," "The Fourth Dimension," and "The Indictment," Messenger is also a radio and television talk show host. "The Lost Revelation" offers answers to questions that his listening audience has submitted. What makes Messenger so controversial is his attack on the mantra of present-day Christianity. Messenger brings a different perspective to biblical interpretation, one in which God takes the initiative in His relationship with humankind rather than simply observing and judging its actions. Do yourself a favor and add the revelation of the Gospel of Substitution to your religious perspective. You may find yourself questioning much of what you believed to be true about Christianity.

Book Description
The Lost Revelation delivers what may be the most ground-breaking interpretation of Jesus' life and ministry since the Apostles' first writings, and is surely the most entertaining. The Lost Revelation is historic fiction built upon exhaustive research. It delivers a unique journey through volatile geopolitics unfolding during Jesus' lifetime, including competing interests between Rome, Temple high priests in Jerusalem, Jewish revolutionaries, and certain Apostles, all vying for power in the Holy Land, and how each impacted Jesus' life, his ministry, and eventually wove inextricably tangled webs around his mission. The Lost Revelation makes a convincing case through a transformational voyage of love and jealousy, humor and agony, war and peace, and loyalty and deceit, while offering unique, thought provoking interpretations of Jesus' life and work.Mark G. Adams has created a sweeping adventure that answers the most vexing questions about the mysterious life of Christ. It includes an intimate description of the amazing experience Jesus taught, how and why his teaching was altered after his death, and in the end, he leaves clues that the Kingdom of Heaven may again be at hand.

Book Description
Winner of 2015 Religion & Spirituality Double Decker Books Awards on Goodreads This book is a fascinating study in search of the real Jesus. The author concludes that scripture is essentially a collection of prophecies, not a record of past events. Jesus did not say, "Blessed is he who heeds the words of the history of this book," but rather "Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book." Thus, the current tenets of Christianity with regard to the origin and advent of Jesus are based on fundamental misconceptions. The book ́s argument is that Christ ́s visitation has not yet occurred in the world of time, since it is a future event, and that his origin will be derived from the Greeks, not the Jews, when he does appear.

Book Description
A new and transforming approach to the Book of Revelation. Margaret Barker bases her study on a fresh reading of the primary sources. As an Old Testament scholar, she can read Revelation as Hebrew prophecy - ancient temple oracles which inspired Jesus and his own prophecies, and influenced the whole Jerusalem Church. Jerusalem was waiting for their Great High Priest to return and complete the Atonement at the end of the Tenth Jubilee. This expectation fuelled the revolt against Rome. Josephus, who deserted to Rome, was the false prophet. John, who escaped to Patmos, compiled Revelation as a record of the first generation. In the future, he taught, the Lord would return to his people in the Eucharist.This work illuminates the formative years of Christianity, in the social, religious and political situation of mid-first-century Palestine, in a quite remarkable way. It will have profound implications for the understanding of Christian origins and the development of Christian liturgy.
