If you haven't read it yet...

Last night I stayed up late to finish a book. That's one thing my husband doesn't understand about me... How do you explain being that involved in an unfolding drama that your own need for sleep is forgotten for awhile? I've been reading the series A.D. Chronicles by Bodie & Brock Thoene. I love it particularly as it's full of tidbits on how to understand some stories of the Old Testament as a foreshadow of Jesus' life on earth. That understanding adds such a rich dimension to understanding the life of Jesus. And it adds a wonderful dimension to this series of books. Go read them and enjoy the wonder of Jesus' days on earth.

"And then The Light came to earth as the prophets foretold in Holy Scripture. Born as a man named Yeshua, which means "Salvation", He lived among us.

The Angel of the Lord. El Shaddai. Adonai. The Way. The Truth. The Life. The Living Word of God. Saviour. Messiah. Redeemer. The Anointed One. El Olam. Ancient of Days.

So many names of grace and beauty to call Him - as many names as there are human needs to meet. And so The One Lord of All Eternity came to our world to ask each heart The One Question: Who do you say I am?

This is the story of the battle between The Truth and the Father of Lies. Each fought mightily for the souls of mankind.

Those who witnessed the conflict firsthand could not comprehend how ancient this war was, nor what the outcome meant for generations yet to be born."
