Behold the Man (The Jerusalem Chronicles #3)
by Bodie Thoene Brock ThoeneEncounter the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth in this culmination of the Jerusalem Chronicles.How could Jesus—who preached righteousness before God, and love and mercy toward neighbors—be so hated and pursued? To the Temple officials, he was a threat to the livelihood and authority of the priesthood. To Herod Antipas, he was a threat to his ambition to be the King of the Jews. And to the Roman overlords, he was seen as a dangerous threat; a man who commanded an army of the common people. He could heal wounds, offer miraculous provisions, and even raise from the dead. If Jesus had accepted popular acclaim and become an earthly king, he would have been unstoppable.Jesus&’s last days are explored through three people who interacted with him: Governor Pilate, for whom Judea will either make or break his career; Pilate&’s wife, Claudia, desperately seeking aid for her much loved, crippled son; and Centurion Marcus Longinus, caught in the middle between loyalty to the Empire, love for Claudia, and an ever-increasing belief in Jesus as the Son of God. After encountering Jesus, none of them will ever be the same.

Beijos & Desejos de Natal
by Sharon Kleve Ana Martins"Avó, tentei o que disseste mas simplesmente não está a resultar." Olhei para as árvores cobertas de neve, enquanto Scorch, o meu Pug, bateu na minha perna com a cabeça a pedir atenção e festas. "Querida, nem deste hipótese."

Passa as festas num sítio onde nunca tenhas estado e senão estiveres satisfeita, volta para casa." "Está bem. Mais três meses", Resmunguei eu e o Scorch ladrou. "Dá ao Scorch um abraço meu. "A avó riu-se. "Sinto falta desse pequenote." "Será entregue. Ele também tem saudades tuas." Scorch sentou-se no meu pé e eu fiz-lhe uma festinha atrás da orelha. "Se o tempo o permitir, amanhã vôo para o Aeroporto Internacional de Seattle-Tacoma e vou passar uns dias a provar os vinhos de Western Washington. Há uma pequena cidade chamada Vine Grove, que me interessa bastante. Se o vinho for tão bom como eu li que é, envio-te um par de caixas para o Natal." "Soa-me lindamente querida. Agora, por mais que te adore e sinta a tua falta, quero que encontres a felicidade, e não me parece que a vás encontrar aqui em Charleston." "Eu sei. Eu sei que tenho que encontrar o meu próprio lugar e começar de novo." "E vais encontrar. Talvez Washington seja esse lugar." "Talvez..."
