Publisher's Description
Scripture springs to life in this immersive narrative, written in the tradition of Francine Rivers, Bodie and Brock Thoene, and Lynn Austin. Walk with Jesus and his disciples, hear his words afresh, witness his miraculous healings, and see how he impacts people's lives as he preaches the provocative message that, in him, the kingdom of God has arrived. In Jerusalem, Rabbi Hilkiah responds to rising messianic fervor by collating ancient prophecies about the coming of God's Anointed One. He dictates these to his niece Rachel, who bitterly resents the inferior position of women in society. Meanwhile, offended Jewish leaders demand that Pontius Pilate take action against the subversive Galilean teacher, Jesus. Hilkiah's student Daniel meets secretly with an underground resistance group that, together with Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, plans a violent uprising that will be triggered by the teacher's arrest. When Jesus finally enters the city for Passover, hailed as a king and riding a donkey in fulfillment of prophecy, the stage is set for the explosive convergence of opposing forces and conflicting ambitions. This engaging account depicts how Jesus's work fulfilled ancient messianic prophecies and how his crucifixion, resurrection, and final return will bring to fruition God's promise recorded in Scripture: that he will redeem and perfect his creation.
Endorsements (5)
“This intense, well-developed, and distinctive piece of work personalizes the tenets of Christianity and makes its human dimensions accessible—the passion of the disciples, their subsequent uncertainties, the territoriality and arrogance of the Pharisees, the political dilemma faced by Pilate, and the commensurate emotional and intellectual reactions. . . . A unique book, worthy of an audience.”
“In The Seventh Covenant, J. P. Hannah, with her exceptional penmanship, artfully draws one into the life and ministry of our Lord, Jesus Christ. The vivid settings of long-ago Jerusalem will take your breath away, and you'll easily relate to the lifelike characters. This book brings to remembrance the arsenal of prophetic facts about Jesus of Nazareth and reiterates that this unforgettable tale of God's love for us all was written in our Savior's blood.”
“What a precious book indeed, filled with the truth of the word! The journey from the Old to the New Testament is seamless as it draws you into pages of Scripture. . . . This book showed me the heart of Jesus and brought me face to face with my Creator, urging me into a more intimate relationship with my Savior. I thoroughly enjoyed it!”
“What a brilliant, scholarly presentation of the Lord Jesus! It is reader friendly and reveals years of research and an intimate involvement with the Lord Jesus in the Gospels. Readers are given a holistic picture as the author delves into facts of Jewish history and the Old Testament. Highly recommended and worth 5 stars!”
“I loved the book. Such a heart-breaking story of a young lady brought to Jesus and her uncle who could not, would not, believe.”
