Fresh Taste of an Old Recipe

Historically-based New Testament characters include beautiful Yo-hannah, whose tortured past has imprisoned her body and heart; Veronica, whose mysterious malady has made her ceremonially unclean, and a despised half-breed whose checkered past is about to catch up with her.

Thrown together from dead-ends, each woman seeks answers to her own desperation. Will Yo-hannah find the peace she craves? Can an unclean woman receive a touch of mercy? Where can a despised half-breed go to be made whole? And what about old Hadessa, whose enigmatic past is as mysterious as the young rabbi who crosses each woman's path – and may also intercept yours?

“If there is one thing I want when I read a book, it is to feel as if I am there, tasting every taste, smelling every scent on the breeze and, yes, even feeling the agonizing emotions that the characters are feeling” says Joyce Cunningham, Director of Child Evangelism Fellowship of Pacific Harbors, Washington.  “Through Akeldama I experienced the forgiveness, the healing power and the heartbreak that each woman who encountered Christ felt. I could place myself in their lives and sing the Hallel right along with them! Thank you, Kristine Lowder, for allowing me to encounter Christ in such a powerful way.”
 
Says pastor and author William C. Oakes, “I have read only a few Christian novels worthy of the name. My favorite Christian authors are C.S. Lewis, Stephen R. Lawhead, Joseph F. Girzone, and now Kristine Lowder… I cannot remember a time when I wanted to re-read a book as soon as I finished it. Treat yourself to a great book!”
 
A graduate of Biola University, Kristine Lowder is an award-winning writer and author of nine books.  Akeldama is her first historical novel.
