In World War II, American soldiers were shocked to discover
thousands of German POW's carrying New Testaments. Civilized men
serving Hitler? Impossible, or so one would think when juxtaposed
against jackbooted Aryan supremacy and the Holocaust. The
astonishing truth, however, is that the majority of Germany's
population willingly supported Hitler, so powerful the seduction
and so profound the blindness. Never before undertaken in a novel,
'The Seduction of Eva Volk' is an inside look at the not-so-simple
paradox of a Christian culture proclaiming faith-in-Fuhrer with
bullets and bombs. Through the eyes of young Eva, the alluring
charm of the Hitler Movement is personified in a lover. Desperately
seeking wholeness in her broken world, she is quickly swept away by
the thrilling passions of love and war...until she finds herself
facing the agonizing consequences of lost sight. "I was blind, but
now I see," brings us to the gut-wrenching climax that challenges
the boundaries of hope and redemption.
Jesus Christ changed the world...but did he ever lose his sandals?
He healed others...but was he ever sick? If he was God, why didn't
he know everything? Did he have friends? Did he ever tell a joke?
Did he laugh? What about his sexuality? Why did his family think he
was crazy? Does his story matter now? While many may already know
the bare facts of Jesus' life, this unique, daring, and inspiring
novel reveals the astonishing possibilities of what else could have
been. Meticulously researched, 'Becoming the Son' invites you to
encounter the Jesus of the Gospels in ways you might not expect.
What you will experience is likely to change your life, forever.
