The Benaiah Trilogy - Another Great Christian Series by Jared Dodd

-

 Where to begin with this awesome series? It is based on Benaiah from the Bible, In 2 Samuel 23:20 where it says this:

    "Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel, performed great exploits. He struck down Moab's two mightiest warriors. he also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion." 

This and other scenes from second Samuel appear in this book. It also envisions Benaiah's life with his family, his training in warfare by his father, Jehoiada, and his emotions when taking down the lion in the pit. 

I don't want to give the plot away, so I'll leave my brief review as is, but I greatly encourage you to read these books. A friend of mine let me borrow it, and I read it on a long drive one day (don't worry- not while driving!), and I couldn't put it down! 


    The First, "Priest", and the Second, "Warrior", are currently available on Amazon. The third and final installment, "General", is not currently available,

  Firstly, one thing must be said. The King James Only Movement is among the greatest mistakes in the history of the Church.       Christians today are getting harassed, bullied, lectured, and most importantly, divided in the work of Jesus Christ because of the Bible translation they use. Does that make sense to you? It certainly does not make sense to me.   There are many examples I could give where the King James translators mistranslated certain words or phrases, and there is even some slight paraphrasing in some areas. This will be dealt with in greater detail in a future article, but let me give you just one example to show you what I mean. In the book of Romans, the phrase 'God forbid!' appears many times throughout the text. But what many people don’t know is that that phrase does not appear in the original Greek. Seriously, the word 'God', and the word 'Forbid' are not there. A literal translation would be 'may it not be so!' The Translators para

The Scroll Saga: the greatest Christian book series you have probably never heard of

       I first got acquainted with the Scroll Saga when it was recommended to me by a friend. I was skeptical at first, but once I got through the first few chapters, I couldn't put it down. After I finished book 1, I was so desperate to read the next book in the series that I purchased it immediately. And... It was even better than the first one! (That's saying something). The third book in the Scroll Saga is geared more towards young ladies, but it is still valuable and entertaining.      This series is SPECTACULAR. It has the perfect mix of drama, humor, and sometimes  startling truth. It really makes you think about the world, the Church, and the Christian life differently. The author, through clever allegorical scenes, displays societal problems that we often miss.      The Castle represents the modern  Church. The Oasis is the true Church that is aligned with God's will. The Scroll is the Bible. Dragons are sin. And warriors who fight them are Christians fighting the
