Living Tabernacle by Rebecca Martin

 Look inside the book

Living Tabernacle is a sequel to Fountain of Life.

Who should Sharon believe? Father warns that Jerusalem and its temple are destined for destruction. But her brother Adam declares that God will never let His temple fall. Is Adam right? Or does Father speak truth when he says that believers are now God’s living tabernacle?
Set in the time of the apostles, this story vividly portrays both the turmoil and the deep peace devout Jews experienced as they grappled with the reality of Jesus the Messiah.
While the story is in harmony with the Biblical account, there is no interaction between the book characters and the Biblical people.

Fountain of Life by Rebecca Martin




Eli had heard about Jesus' profound teachings and amazing miracles, but he had never seen Jesus. The more he heard, the more he was awed by this man. Was Jesus the Messiah who would deliver the Jews from Rome's oppression? Could he heal Eli's crippled father? How Eli longed to meet Jesus! But he soon learned his admiration was not shared by all. Even some of his own family hated Jesus bitterly.
Eli never did see Jesus on earth. But long after the dark days of the cross and the tomb, Eli discovered something even more wonderful--that Jesus could be found anywhere, any time, by anyone open to receive Him.
Set in New Testament times and including a wealth of information about Jewish life and customs, this is an inspiring story of blossoming faith, seeking and finding the truth, and drinking deeply at the "Fountain of Life."

While the story is in harmony with the Biblical account, there is no interaction between the book characters and the Biblical people.

The Hidden Village by Bonnie Rose Hudson


When Manju acts out the story of Zacchaeus and the sycamore tree in the tallest mangrove tree, he finds a hidden village deep in the forest. He wants to do everything he can to help the hungry people in the little village. What can he do when the people in his village won't believe his story, and even wild animals and the weather seem determined to stop him from helping?

Even though no one takes him seriously, Manju, through prayer, is determined to help the village people who are destitute and illiterate. He walks us through his experience of saving food, gathering supplies, finding work to help them, dealing with a protective rhinoceros mother, and eventually leading the hidden village people to the Lord using God's word.
