Winner - CRT Christian Book of the Year, 2023The New Testament tells us very little about Lydia, a seller of purple cloth who was living in Philippi when she met the apostle Paul on his second missionary journey. And yet she is considered the first recorded convert to Christianity in Europe. In her second work of fiction, Biblical scholar and popular author and speaker Paula Gooder tells Lydia's story - who she was, the life she lived and her first-century faith - and in doing so opens up Paul's letter to the Philippians, giving a sense of the cultural and historical pressures that shaped Paul's thinking, and the faith of the early church.Written in the gripping style of Gerd Theissen's The Shadow of the Galilean, and similarly rigorously researched, this is a book for everyone and anyone who wants to engage more deeply and imaginatively with Paul's theology - from one of the UK's foremost New Testament scholars.
"Aunt Quinn is making her own choices," Lydia said. "There's nothing we can do about that. All we can do...""Is get ready for war," Ryker replied. ***Lydia Masterson is in danger. The vampire Hunters of Las Vegas have finally reached the end of their patience. They want the archdemon Camael to fully manifest in this world and unleash his wrath on the vampires, and sixteen-year-old Lydia stands in their way. As the war escalates, Ryker is doing all he can to prepare Lydia for battle after battle. If the Sanguines are to have any hope of survival, Lydia must learn to use her gifts to send Camael across the veil between the worlds for good. When old friends become enemies and enemies become friends, when allies crumble and opponents rise, Lydia learns that there's only one thing she can count on: herself. *****Praise for ZANE (Sin City Sanguines Book One)**********Amanda Sebring has done vampires like they've never been done before -Goodreads review*****The stunning debut of a brilliant and intoxicating new series -Amazon Review***** I did not think that I would care for this type of genre but decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did... It's a fascinating book that I thoroughly enjoyed. -Amazon Review*****If you're looking for squishy, sparkly vampires, I suggest you look elsewhere. -White Stag Poetry*****Offensive. You should totally trust us at all times. -Actual Vampire*****I... was pleasantly surprised by how well Amanda Sebring introduces new ideas in familiar skins. Although a sharper edge would be a strong development in coming books, Zane is a blast to read and I am looking forward to what drops next. If you enjoy dark fantasy, monsters and the complicated politics of supernatural beings, I'm not sure why you aren't already scrolling quickly... to purchase the book. Either way, this is an author worth following and a series that could turn into something for fans to devour. -Neon Bloodbath*****Darkly delightful with masterful storytelling and a kickass imaginative world, you cannot go wrong with this book. I devoured it and sit and wait for its successor, because Sin City Sanguines is a staple on my vampire fiction shelf. -Author Charlotte Munro
