Finally back in print, this special 40th anniversary edition of Dr. Schonfield’s international multimillion-copy bestseller is set to rock the establishment view of the life of Jesus all over again. There is probably no other figure in modern Jewish historical research who is more controversial or famous than Hugh J. Schonfield, who once said: “The scholars deplore that I have spilled the beans to the public. Several of them have said to me, ‘You ought to have kept this just among ourselves, you know.’” What he did to “spill the beans” was present historical evidence suggesting that Jesus was a mortal man, a young genius who believed himself to be the Messiah and deliberately and brilliantly planned his entire ministry according to the Old Testament prophecies—even to the extent of plotting his own arrest, crucifixion and resurrection. Since Schonfield’s death in 1988, his popularity and the interest in his prodigious work, which included over 40 books, has drawn increasing attention, particularly outside Judaism. In fact, it is probably fair to say that his contribution to the Gentile understanding of Jewish aspirations among those within the Christian cultural framework has been without parallel. In true Christian tradition, he has also been the cause of much contention. In the wake of resurgent interest in religious history spurred by Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ and Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, this 40th anniversary edition of The Passover Plot is set to engage a completely new generation of readers searching for truth.

The Real Story of the Exodus Colin Humphreys, a world-renowned Cambridge University scientist, reveals for the first time the concrete, scientific truth behind the Exodus miracles. The Burning Bush: Caused by a volcanic vent that opened up under the bush. Crossing the Red Sea: The water was pushed back by a very strong wind blowing all night. This is a known physical phenomenon called wind setdown. The details given in the Bible mean we can pinpoint where the Red Sea crossing occurred. Drowning Pharaoh's Army: When the very strong wind suddenly stopped blowing, the water rushed back in the form of a rapidly returning "bore" wave, sweeping Pharaoh's army into the sea. Mount Sinai: The real Mount Sinai is in present-day Saudi Arabia, not the Sinai Desert as is generally assumed.

God is realigning hearts and nations in crisis. This book will allow you to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches in this season of a modern-day Passover. A timely prophetic message on how to discern the times and know what to do as the body of Christ. As people and nations emerge in the aftermath of this pandemic, God will realign hearts and nations in preparation for an end-time harvest. BRIEF SUMMARY: One of America’s most-respected prophetic voices brings a critical message to a nation—and world—at a crossroads. In September 2019, God revealed to Chuck Pierce that between February and April 2020, plague-like conditions would hit the earth. The Lord said, “I will be waiting to see which nations ‘pass over.’” Just like the very first Passover, God is looking for a remnant that will hold strong and bring His love to a hurting planet. Pierce divides the rumors from the Word, and answers such questions as: Why would the current situation be happening around the time of Passover 2020? Is this a modern-day plague for a modern-day Passover? Are nations still trying to bring other nations under their control and economic rule? What is Israel’s role in this critical time? How do we move forward today? In the midst of pandemic, God is also assuring His Church that after this period, for those who hold fast to Jesus, there will be a time of celebration. In The Passover Prophecies, Pierce delves into the ancient biblical signs that point toward a glorious future for the people of God. Move forward, feed your faith, and know that even in the midst of uncertainty, His kingdom shall overcome, and His will shall be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

“A TREMENDOUS BREAKTHROUGH” in the study of St. Joseph... ...There are few subjects so challenging” to authors as St. Joseph. So says scholar Scott Hahn in his foreword to this book. Yet the pages that follow give not merely glimpses, but vistas, of St. Joseph’s world. Hahn continues: “You’ll learn about Nazareth — and how it was created almost ex nihilo shortly before Joseph’s birth. You’ll learn about religious practice and education in that place and time. You’ll travel to Egypt and encounter the fascinating settlements of Jews in that land. You’ll also find out how a carpenter worked in those days: what tools he used, what items he crafted, where he got his training, and how he got to and from his job sites.” This book provides an imaginative entry into one of the most important lives in all of history — a life too often obscured by later legends.
