Step into the pages of this historical novel of Faith. Meet beautiful Yo-hannah, whose tortured past has imprisoned her body and heart. Walk in the stooped steps of Veronica, whose mysterious malady has made her ceremonially unclean. Thirst for living water with a half-breed whose checkered past is about to catch up with her.

Thrown together from dead-ends, each woman seeks answers to her own desperation. Will Yo-hannah find the peace she craves? Can an unclean woman receive a touch of mercy? Where can a despised half-breed go to be made whole? And what about old Hadessa, whose enigmatic past is as mysterious as the young man who crosses each woman's path?

Each woman's life and future hinges on the Nazarene's answer to one question: Who are you?

What readers are saying:

Akeldama is a book rich in descriptions of Bible history. If there is one thing I want when I read a book, it is to feel as if I am there, tasting every taste, smelling every scent on the breeze and, yes, even feeling the agonizing emotions that the characters are feeling. Through Akeldama I experienced the forgiveness, the healing power and the heartbreak that each woman who encountered Christ felt. I could place myself in their lives and sing the Hallel right along with them! Thank you, Kristine Lowder, for allowing me to encounter Christ in such a powerful way.

I have read only a few Christian novels worthy of the name. My favorite Christian authors are C.S. Lewis, Stephen R. Lawhead, Joseph F. Girzone, and now Kristine Lowder. I must tell you that her book, Akeldama, touched me so deeply that I cried like a baby as I read the final chapter. Yes, the final chapter is about the resurrection of Jesus Christ—not a new subject. But something in her telling of it blessed me with joy, gratitude, awe, and wonder. I cannot remember a time when I wanted to re-read a book as soon as I finished it. Treat yourself to a great book!

Bible Study


B1


Christian Essentials
Book 1: God and Creation

by William C. Oakes

Sincere Christians may disagree on certain things without harm. These are called "disputable matters" in Romans 14:1 or "non-essentials." The Apostle Paul gives clear instruction on how to deal with non-essential matters that might otherwise divide us. Is it not a command of scripture to agree on the essentials and not to argue (discuss, yes, but not argue) about the non-essentials?

The questions is this. What are the essentials that all Christians agree upon? What are those topics you believe are beyond dispute? What beliefs are absolutely essential - fundamental - to being a Christian? This Bible study course guides you through an examination of many of the key questions about God and Creation. Compare your thoughts and beliefs with others in the class. Be open-minded (in humility and love) to consider other perspectives.

The goal is unity in the faith. Not unity at any cost; but Christian unity nevertheless.

A Unique Way to Study

Most Bible studies tell you what the answers are to the questions they ask. Not so with this course. The goal of this study is prayerful, Spirit-led, discussion between loving Christians. This course offers a systematic examination of the scriptures with questions that foster serious thought and discussion. There is room in the book to record the answer you feel is true to God's Word, as revealed by the Holy Spirit, with love and forbearance for those of slightly differing views.

The overarching purpose of the study is to investigate, in a private or group setting, what are the essential truths and beliefs of the Christian faith. Not all Christians agree on every point - but we must agree on a basic set of doctrines. Not everyone who claims to be a Christian is truly born again. There is a need for believing faith in the proper teachings. However, Christians need not agree on everything.

So, what is essential and what is not? Rather than just being told the answer, this study leads you through your own investigation and facilitates your discovery of these essential truths. With reliance upon the Holy Spirit, the author of the Holy Scriptures, these essentials will become clear.
