Book Cover & Preview Text
Born To Betray? Did you think you could hide the evil in your heart, that you would go unpunished for your treacherous part? One of His disciples, you might have been, but you were dishonest and you betrayed your friend. Your lips, which God anointed to preach, spoke lies instead and whispered deceit. Miracles, through your hands, God would have performed; instead they were filled with your ill-gotten coins. "What will you give if I deliver Him to you?" You bargained for the life of the Messiah of the Jews. You received communion and shared His last meal while conspiring with His enemies to strike a good deal. Thirty pieces of silver was the price they would pay, so you sought an opportunity to secretly betray. What were you thinking when you devised your plan? Why didn't you just drive those tortuous nails in His hands?............
"I Find No Fault In Him." 'Which of these men will you choose, Barabbas, the robber, or the King of the Jews? A killer and thief who seeks His own gain, or Jesus Christ with His outrageous claims? Which one will be granted a legal reprieve, his offenses pardoned as he is set free?" Through the intense chaos and deafening noise, Pilate, you commanded the people to make this choice...........
Arising From The Ashes - Bitter tears of regret, Simon Peter cried, consumed by his failures, ashamed of his lies. Haunted by the words Jesus spoke, 'Tonight, you will deny Me before the cock crows.' Passionately protesting that his loyalty was strong, Peter insisted that, this time, Jesus was wrong. 'I will be imprisoned and with you die, but the Son of God, I will never deny!"..............

About the Book
God often chooses ordinary people to perform extraordinary feats. He causes the humble to be exalted while bringing the proud to their knees. He blesses the poor while stripping wealth from the wicked. The weak become strong while the strength of the mighty crumbles. God has always astounded mankind with miraculous intervention and displays of omnipotent power. Using scripture and human insight, I have tried to paint a verbal protrait of some of the people God used in biblical times. Some were people who rejected Jesus in spite of His best efforts to save them. Some had great influence and authority. Others were ordinary people with weaknesses, fears and doubts who accepted God's call and persevered with a strength born of faith. They were people who were touched by Heaven, people just like you and me.
About the Author
I accepted Jesus as my Savior at the young age of five years old and have never regreted one moment of serving God. I have been blessed, for I found at an early age what some people search for their entire life. I believe that nothing is impossible with God, for He has proven His miraculous power in my life time and time again. As a wife, mother of four and grandmother of two wonderful children, I have endeavored to live by the principles of Christianity my whole life, striving to be a good example to my family, just as my parents did for me. I wrote this book to show that the early Christians were real people, imperfect in many ways, who had personalities, human traits and emotions, just like you and me, that sometimes clashed with their divine calling. Yet, the Spirit of God was able to change them into bold, fearless, spiritual warriors who won against impossible odds. He can do the same for you and I today. With the same Spirit of God within our hearts and the same determination to follow Jesus regardless of the cost, the Christians of today can be just as dynamic as the Christians of old.
