MY REVIEW

In this neat book you are getting a triple blessing. This is three stories in one from The Berenstain Bears. In this beautiful hardcover book you are getting, Faith Gets Us Through Have No Fear, God Is Near Piggy Bank Blessings. All three of these books are wonderful for kids because they teach such valuable lessons that all kids need to learn. And they seem to learn better from someone they like and know best, and that is the Bears in the Berenstain family. And one very special thing I love about this book is that the stories are for kids just learning to read. You child will be amazed at how easy and fun it will be to read this book themselves. And for those little ones still learning to read, they will love having these three stories read to them. Check this beautiful book out today!

The Advocate by Randy Singer

The Advocate

by Randy Singer

Overview

At the trial of Christ, Theophilus, brilliant young assessore raised in the Roman aristocracy, stands behind Pontius Pilate and whispers, “Offer to release Barabbas.” The strategy backfires, and Theophilus never forgets the sight of an innocent man unjustly suffering the worst of all possible deaths—Roman crucifixion.

When he returns to Rome, Theophilus must prove himself in the legal ranks of the Roman Empire. He endures the backstabbing intrigue of the treason trials and the attempts of a cruel tyrant to control the woman he loves. But his struggle for revenge leaves a stain on both the empire and his own troubled soul.

Ultimately, he will face the most notorious Caesar, defending the man Paul in Nero’s deranged court. Can Theophilus mount a defense that will keep another innocent man from execution?

The Advocate’s first trial altered the course of history. His last will change the fate of an empire.

MY REVIEW

I love anything Randy Singer writes and The Advocate is by far my favorite of Mr. Singer's yet. I was intrigued how he takes a man mentioned very little in the Bible, and creates a life for him. Theophilus is a Bible Character I've read and wondered about, but didn't understand his role in the Scriptures until I read this book. And I know being a work of fiction, this is Singer's imagination and creation of this man, during this period in history through the study and research he's done, but I love being able to bring a character to life before our eyes and we read the pages of a book such as this. Reading The Advocate gives a real sense of being in that moment in time, and I can understand reading the Scripture related to this story so much better.

I have only good things to say about this new book by Randy Singer, and I recommend it highly for you if you like Biblical fiction. A copy of this book was provided by Tyndale House Publishers for me to read and give an honest review. The opinions here are mine, and no one elses.
