The Bronze Ladder by Malcolm Lyons
288 pages, 5 of 5 reviews are 4 or 5-star, Lending Enabled, Previously Free
Saturus is a carefree teenager from the Roman province of Africa with an appetite for the seedier pleasures of life.
Perpetua is a young and headstrong noblewoman entrapped by the traditional views of her father.
Two people from different backgrounds, seemingly with little in common. Yet both are drawn to the new and radical religious movement that is sweeping the Roman empire – Christianity.
But why are so many around them bitterly opposed to this new, radical faith? And why are those who embrace it willing to pay the ultimate price, rather than give it up?
Based on the historical account of six North Africans whose lives were deeply affected by this new movement, this is a moving and at the same time inspiring story which takes us from despair and anger through to new courage and hope… and so to ultimate victory over fear and death itself.
The Search of Melchizedek by Jeffrey Tiel
460 pages, 3 of 3 reviews are 5-star, Lending Enabled
The ancient Epistle to the Hebrews contains a hitherto unnoticed enigma. It refers to a man without beginning or end – one who lives forever. So, who and where is he? The Jews knew him only as the Wanderer. T. S. Eliot called him the Witness. And the early Christians named him . . . Melchizedek. Federal Agent Roger Quarston can’t know that investigating some ancient, blood stained manuscripts will lead him to this same Melchizedek – whose revelation will threaten allegiances, challenge faiths, crack political foundations, enliven ancient dynasties, and open the promise of immortality and unimagined power.

As a prostitute, Miri unlawfully plies her trade during the Roman occupation of Palestine. She hates her life, and knowing she will eventually get caught, allows men to gather loudly at her door. Soon after, the authorities drag her to a quarry to be stoned, but moments before her death, Joshua saves her. He introduces her into his world–a place where he teaches a new spiritual philosophy to the multitude.
Miri is soon swept into a magnitude of emotions ranging from profound self-loathing to the joys of love–love for a man who has only weeks to live. Bound on this earth by human frailty, she listens to his mysterious, but confusing teachings. As Joshua’s mistress, and later, his wife, she finally realizes the beauty of his doctrine.

The Happy Gift of Tongues by James Davidson
155 pages, of reviews are 4 or 5-star, Lending Enabled
This Happy Gift of Tongues is a concise and accurate Biblical account of Speaking in Tongues, and its historical context within the Church. But this book goes further, for it includes a psycholinguistic research study of Glossolalia revealing the uniqueness of this gift of the Holy Spirit, rebutting critics who suggest parallels with the tongues-speaking of shamans and some forms of schizophrenia.
This book shows Speaking in Tongues is a powerful weapon in the Christian’s armoury, and it explains simply how Christians may have this God-given experience.
Women of the Way by John Kachuba
346 pages, 1 of 1 reviews are 5-star, Lending Enabled
In first-century Palestine three women find their lives transformed when they meet an enigmatic, itinerant rabbi from Nazareth named Yeshua.
Miriam is a widow of independent means, defamed as a harlot and shunned by the villagers of Magdala precisely because of her independence.
Joanna is a patrician woman and wife of Chuza, King Herod’s chief steward, who finds herself subjected to the unwanted advances of Philip, Herod’s nephew.
Hannah, the Homeless One, is a young orphan roaming from village to village, barely able to keep herself alive.
One by one, these women meet Yeshua and his followers and his words draw them to him. Miriam and Hannah find solace and comfort as they travel with Yeshua, eventually becoming enamored of the Way, as his teachings are commonly called. Sharing the joys, the trials and tribulations of Yeshua’s disciples, they earn the trust and respect of the charismatic rabbi. Joanna, loyal to her husband, remains a member of Herod’s court—at least for a little while—although attracted to Yeshua’s teachings.
But Palestine is a volatile land where Roman rule and Jewish nationalism are on a collision course. In such a place women are not treated as equals to men—despite Yeshua’s egalitarian views. As Yeshua’s popularity increases, so do the numbers of his enemies and the women find themselves in mortal danger as they spread the teachings of the Way.
