Two Christian books for the price of one!

This is a two book set. It contains:

 • Jesus Ascended. What Does That Mean?
 • Bethlehem, the Year Jesus Was Born

The books takes Biblical topics, and strips them down to their purist state so you can reconsider them in ways you may have never thought about before.

The summary of each book is below:

Jesus Ascended. What Does That Mean?

Jesus rose. But Christ didn't just rise from the dead. He ascended to Heaven.

We hear the stories about Peter and John and all the heroes of the New Testament, and they're unstoppable Christians--fearless and bold. But it wasn't until after the Ascension that they were on fire for Christ. So, what happened during the forty days? Something happened.

There's more written about Christ's ministry before his death than the events that happened after his Resurrection, but when we look at Ascension, we begin to see that there's power in small details.

Looking at what happened after the Resurrection, and further at the Ascension of Christ, we start to see what happened to transform the followers--and in seeing this we might just be transformed ourselves.

Bethlehem, the Year Jesus Was Born

The Bible teaches us the real story of Christmas. The problem is people have taken this story and added on to it. Cultures have added on to it. It’s passed through countries, and they’ve tacked on their little spin.

We have thousands of years of a Christmas that is built around legends and myths. The Christmas we know is, in places, more a fairytale.

When you begin to unwrap the many layers of the first Christmas, you begin to see that there’s more to Christmas than meets the eye. God is giving us a message—a gift to unwrap.

This is the story of Christmas. Christmas: God’s gift to us.

Discover the Power of the Ascension.

Something happened.

Jesus rose. But Christ didn't just rise from the dead. He ascended to Heaven.

We hear the stories about Peter and John and all the heroes of the New Testament, and they're unstoppable Christians--fearless and bold. And sometimes we wrongly assume that they just got that way. That Christ died for their sins, and bam! They're instantly changed! On the contrary, the disciples were actually quite cowardly in their actions after the Resurrection.

It wasn't until after the Ascension that they were on fire for Christ. So, what happened during the forty days? Something happened.

There's more written about Christ's ministry before his death than the events that happened after his Resurrection, but when we look at Ascension, we begin to see that there's power in small details. We begin to see that something happened after the Resurrection--something happened to transform the lives of believers and make them more than followers.

Looking at what happened after the Resurrection, and further at the Ascension of Christ, we start to see what happened to transform the followers--and in seeing this we might just be transformed ourselves.

Something did indeed happen during the forty days. Jesus was not done teaching.

Jesus Ascended - What Does That Mean?: Jesus’ Final 40-Day Lesson

★★★ The story of Christmas like you’ve never heard before ★★★

The Bible teaches us the real story of Christmas. The problem is people have taken this story and added on to it. Cultures have added on to it. It’s passed through countries, and they’ve tacked on their little spin.

We have thousands of years of a Christmas that is built around legends and myths. The Christmas we know is, in places, more a fairytale. It’s an inspiring one for sure. But a fairytale, nonetheless.

When you begin to unwrap the many layers of the first Christmas, you begin to see that there’s more to Christmas than meets the eye. God is giving us a message—a gift to unwrap. This book helps us slow down and unpack the layers so we can see just how beautiful this gift really is.

This is the story of Christmas. Christmas: God’s gift to us.

This book is a stand-alone title of the Organic Faith series.

Bethlehem, the Year Jesus Was Born: Unwrapping the Theology Behind Christmas

★★★ Discover the true miracle of Lazarus being raised from the dead ★★★

Lazarus is an amazing story. 

A man rose from the dead! You just don’t get any more awesome than that, right! So that’s it then. That’s what we are supposed to learn from his resurrection, right? Not exactly.

Jesus performed lots of miracles. John said it best when he said that there would not be room in the whole world to describe all that he did. 

It’s easy to look at the stories of miracles and see them for what they’re worth: miracles. But that’s a shame. If the miracle is in the Bible, there’s a reason for it. It’s not just there because it was miraculous.

With Lazarus, a man rose from the dead—an amazing miracle, no doubt. But there’s more to it than that. There’s a lesson to be learned.

Lazarus wasn’t just a man raised from the dead—he had a life before and after his resurrection. And Jesus didn’t perform the miracle just to be flashy.

Lazarus of Bethany: Uncovering the Theology Behind Jesus Raising Lazarus From the Dead

We all know the story of creation in the Bible. In the beginning, God created. But what if creation isn’t where things started? Not in the Bible anyway. What if the first book of the Bible wasn’t about creation…it was about pain.

Scholars have debated for years about what the first book of the Bible really is. Most have concluded that the Book of Job was probably the first book written.

Think about that: what if the message God wanted us to receive wasn’t about how we were created, but what to do when life gets bad.

Being a Christian means happiest. Joy. It means you get that white picket fence and have friends that bring you companionship. Hardship and spiritual warfare may be words that Christians know, but it’s not exactly something we talk about.

Job is a complicated and messy story because it address the elephant in the giant room that is Christianity: that believing in God doesn’t mean happiness. Or wealth. Or even goodness.

Job is a story that teaches us an ugly truth about what we believe: that things aren’t always better on the other side of the mountain—that good things don’t always happen to good people—and that sometimes life is just messed up.

Most people know the story of Job. He’s the guy who had bad things happen to him. But we often look to the story as more a Sunday school fairytale. Sure, it’s believable. But we often look at it as a moral tale about a guy who had it all taken away.

There’s more to it than that. Rarely do we study it to find out what God is trying to teach us.

The lesson here is deep, and one every believe should hear.
