Book excerpt: One man’s quest to find the oldest Bible scrolls in the world and uncover the story of the brilliant, doomed antiquarian accused of forging them. In the summer of 1883, Moses Wilhelm Shapira—archaeological treasure hunter and inveterate social climber—showed up unannounced in London claiming to have discovered the oldest copy of the Bible in the world. But before the museum could pony up his £1 million asking price for the scrolls—which discovery called into question the divine authorship of the scriptures—Shapira’s nemesis, the French archaeologist Charles Clermont-Ganneau, denounced the manuscripts, turning the public against him. Distraught over this humiliating public rebuke, Shapira fled to the Netherlands and committed suicide. Then, in 1947 the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. Noting the similarities between these and Shapira’s scrolls, scholars made efforts to re-examine Shapira’s case, but it was too late: the primary piece of evidence, the parchment scrolls themselves had mysteriously vanished. Tigay, journalist and son of a renowned Biblical scholar, was galvanized by this peculiar story and this indecipherable man, and became determined to find the scrolls. He sets out on a quest that takes him to Australia, England, Holland, Germany where he meets Shapira’s still aggrieved descendants and Jerusalem where Shapira is still referred to in the present tense as a “Naughty boy”. He wades into museum storerooms, musty English attics, and even the Jordanian gorge where the scrolls were said to have been found all in a tireless effort to uncover the truth about the scrolls and about Shapira, himself. At once historical drama and modern-day mystery, The Lost Book of Moses explores the nineteenth-century disappearance of Shapira’s scrolls and Tigay's globetrotting hunt for the ancient manuscript. As it follows Tigay’s trail to the truth, the book brings to light a flamboyant, romantic, devious, and ultimately tragic personality in a story that vibrates with the suspense of a classic detective tale.

Award-winning author Dr. Frank Turek (I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist) will show you how atheists steal reason, evidence, science, and other arguments from God in trying to make their case for atheism. If that sounds contradictory, it's because it is! Atheists can't make their case without appealing to realities only theism can explain. In an engaging and memorable way,Stealing from God exposes these intellectual crimes atheists are committing and then provides four powerful reasons for why Christianity is true.

Book excerpt: Lori Vale, a rebellious teen, is thrust into the middle of a violent religious conflict when her mother is murdered, and the girl is taken to a fortress in an ancient Greek monastery. There, a group of radical women is creating an earthshaking religious text. The Holy Women's Bible will include the Old and New Testaments, edited to alter gospels that are detrimental to the interests of women, such as passages asserting that they should obey their husbands, remain silent in churches, and suffer the burden of Eve's sins. The Holy Women's Bible also holds a a bombshell: the Testament of the She-Apostles. It asserts that Jesus Christ had 24 apostles, and half were women called "she-apostles." Eleven she-apostles have been reincarnated in modern times as female children, and are revealing new female-oriented gospels about the life of Jesus, stories they say were omitted from the Bible by male church authorities who decided what to include in the Bible and what to leave out, in order to assert the power and dominance of men over women. The radical women have dangerous enemies, and Lori's life is in grave peril, along with the lives of the remarkable female apostles of Jesus. . . .

Book excerpt: Unapologetically Called: The Stolen Bible is a passionate and personal analysis of a life in crisis of a low income working-class African-American woman. The disintegration of a young woman's mental strength has never before been written about as descriptively from the inside. Evangelist Leandra Flucker tells the true story of what true spiritual decline feels like when you were born with a calling hung around your neck. The story begins with a glimpse into the life of a young woman in her late twenties with the hope of escaping the dreadful poverty around her. However, tragedy struck her small family and the crisis took over her home. Leandra quickly found herself dealing with the death of a child, the brokenness of her marriage, and the loss of her faith in God. As the saga of Unapologetically Called: The Stolen Bible plays out, we learn that Leandra's struggle with the demands of her low income life lands her in legal trouble. She is faced with the reality that she may never fully escape the legacy of poverty, and trauma so characteristic of her part of America. With dramatic honesty, Leandra shows how she herself carries around the chaos painted in her mind. A deeply moving testimony, with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Unapologetically Called: The Stolen Bible is the story of how rock bottom really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation on the misconception of the American dream for a disenfranchised segment of this country.
