Reviewers say: "I couldn't turn the pages fast enough,"..."Two thumbs up"..."Highly recommended,".."a Five-Star rating,"..."The author did a wonderful job on weaving history and fact together to make a fast paced and gripping book,"..."Author E. G. Lewis has a wonderful skill with his writing, hiding deep and serious research under simple, honest story-telling." Witness: An old tale told in a new way. Things are good for young Rivkah. Her father's just given her a lamb to start her own flock, and Shemu'el wants to marry her. The young shepherdess accompanies her father to Bethlehem where, with Mary's help, she holds her newborn son. But Mary, Joseph and Jesus are soon gone and Herod's soldiers begin killing the children of her village. Then her intended, Shemu'el, is dragged away into slavery. Divided by fate, united by love, these two young people grow to separate adulthoods, each with their dreams and desires unfulfilled, while the world of Rome and conquest moves inexorably on. Rivkah eventually marries and raises a family. Life is good until the day she's in Jerusalem for the Passover when three men pass on their way to crucifixion. As she encounters Jesus a final time, Rivkah makes a life-changing decision and follows to Golgotha. And, when they take him from the cross, this time it's Rivkah who helps Mary hold her son. An epic tale of love lost and love found. Biblically and historically accurate.

Reviewers say: "The author did a wonderful job on weaving history and fact together to make a fast paced and gripping book."..."Two thumbs up This was a fascinating book..." "Well Done E G Lewis faithfully tracks the events of Acts, filling in realistic scenarios and vibrant characters..." The Seeds of Christianity find Fertile Soil; Rivkah and her family convert to the Way of Yeshua. Temple authorities refuse to buy lambs from Yeshua's followers. Unable to survive in their home settlement, they move to Jerusalem. Increasing persecution against Believers forces them out again. Leaving Jerusalem, they head for Antioch with Simon Peter to establish the Church there. Experience life in the early Church through this well-researched and historically accurate novel as the first Christians struggle to live out the teachings of Yeshua in an often hostile environment. Sit beside the twelve apostles as they partition the world and begin their mission of preaching and teaching. Encounter Saul of Tarsus, the scourge of the early Church and Stephen, the first to die for his faith. Stand beside Channah as she watches a mob stone the man she loves. Meet Pavlos of Antioch, the mute giant whose actions speak louder than words, and whose innate goodness created a ministry to the weak and helpless. Weep for Eleana, the young Parthian woman who was savagely attacked by a Roman soldier and must now decide whether to bear the child that must be his. Walk with the early Disciples as they sow the Seeds of Christianity. Historically and Biblically correct.

Reviewers say: "A true delight of "The Seeds of Christianity" is not just the great storyline, but the historical setting the author so brilliantly depicts. E G Lewis has one foot planted firmly in an ancient history class and the other in a creative writing class."..."A supporting cast of memorable characters emerges one by one as the Gospel takes root..." "Characters are beautifully drawn." Book Three of the Seeds of Christianity Series. Follow the lives of Rivkah and Shemu'el as they continue to spread the good news in Antioch and beyond. Tensions surface as the number of non-Jewish converts rises in Antioch. Barnabus brings Paul, but some oppose his new role. Sha'oul, now renamed Paul, leaves on his first missionary journey accompanied by Barnabus and Yohan Markus. This saga of the Early Church takes a troubling turn when their youngest son adopts a pagan lifestyle. Antioch trembles in the grip of a ruthless serial killer. While Pavlos roams the streets looking for him, Shemu'el fears he already knows the killer's identity. Meanwhile in Rome, the Emperor Claudius tires of the ongoing conflict between the Christians and the Jews. Believing Christianity to be a sect of Judaism, he expels all Jews from Rome. Simon Petros is forced to leave his flock behind as he carries the Gospel to new lands and peoples. When all seems lost, Atticus is promoted to the office of Tribunus Medicus Militum, placing him in command of all of the army's medical corps. He and his family travel to Rome to fill the gap left by Simon Petros' departure. The beloved disciple, John, has relocated to Ephesus for Miryam's protection. He brings Shemu'el Evodius a new convert named Ignatius and asks him to mentor the young man. Though surrounded by chaos, the church in Antioch continues to grow in size and influence under Evodius' competent leadership. These books are aimed at any Christian who is interested in getting a feel for the Early Church.
Lost: A Story of Mystery, Intrigue, and Revelation
Reviewers say..."breathtaking descriptions of the Oregon scenery with touching glimpses into the emotional make up of the characters flows seamlessly into scenes of high intensity action. Lost is a mystery, romance, and action thriller rolled into one." What happens when three good ideas converge to form one great catastrophe. LOST is first and foremost a story about love, the kind of love which binds two hearts together transcending time and space. Thomas Jenkins had it all: happy marriage, children, grandchildren, and a rewarding career as a syndicated columnist and newspaper publisher in Pine Crest, Oregon. That is, until his wife, Marty, takes a two-week Alaskan cruise and her ship disappeared four days out of San Francisco. A short time later, Coast Guard officials conclude the ship has been irretrievably lost. When a mystical experience convinces him that Marty is still alive, Tom strikes out on his own resolving to do whatever it takes to find her. Gathering the unlikely team of two Vietnam Vets, an Indian scientist, and a supermodel, he goes on the offensive and begins trying to unravel the mystery. However, the final piece of the puzzle lies not in the Gulf of Alaska but in the Oregon woods. Undaunted, Tom sets off into the forest alone determined to save his wife...or die trying.

Reviewers say: "...a poignant finale. Vividly portrayed, deeply instructive, emotionally satisfying."..."Whether you are Christian or not, you will find much to like about this series."... "well-drawn visions from the past, yield a stunning addition to the awesome scope of this Series." The Seeds of Christianity(TM) Series Goes to Rome. Claudius is gone and Nero now wears the crown. When Peter asks, Shemu'el and Rivkah agree to go to Rome. In a strange convergence of events, their son, Yudah, meets Rhebekka, the girl of his dreams on their way during a stopover on Cyprus. Meanwhile, a revolt breaks out on the Empire's western fringes. Led by Queen Boadicea of the Iceni, she aims to right the wrongs done to her and wrest the new Province of Britannia from the hand of the Romans. Only a single Roman Legion stands between her and total victory. Things are just returning to normalcy when a huge conflagration leaves most of Rome in ashes. Voices rise in the street accusing the Emperor Nero of being the incendiary and he searches for a scapegoat. His wife Poppaea, still smarting from Atticus' rejection of her advances, suggests he blame the Christians. She realizes too late that like Pandora, she has unleashed a demon she can never control. Peter is killed. Who will lead the Church, Shemu'el or Linus? The Christians construct the first catacomb and its niches quickly fill as more and more believers are slain for their faith. As the fatalities rise, Shemu'el realizes they must have a traitor in their midst. But how can he identify this false Christian who's selling out his friends to save his own skin? Read the stunning epic saga of Early Christianity. Author's Notes Included.
Road to Bethlehem: A Prelude to the Seeds of Christianity Series
Readers say, "Fascinating, illuminating"..."More than I expected"..."They came to life before my eyes." Having heard the Christmas story told and retold more times than we can count, it is easy to view Mary and Joseph as nothing more than paper people whom we encounter every year on the Christmas cards that crowd our mantle. In Road to Bethlehem, a prelude to his popular Seeds of Christianity Series, E. G. Lewis rounds out this flat, two-dimensional view of Mary and Joseph. In his hands they become real flesh and blood people who live, love and interact with the world around them. Relying upon meticulous research and masterful storytelling, he has crafted a wonderfully entertaining, thought-provoking, and deeply informative novel. Through careful attention to detail he immerses the reader into the daily life of the new carpenter in Nazareth and a young woman named Mary who has caught his eye. There's a beautiful innocence to Mary and her thoughts. The author has a gentle way with words, explaining just enough to intrigue, leading enough to entice. Wise lessons are threaded into the tale...the power of forgiveness, the gift of mercy, and the healing capacity of love. The God of these pages is ever-present in the characters' lives, but never intrusive. You'll come away from this novel with a deep understanding and newfound respect for both Mary and Joseph. Like all of E. G. Lewis' Seeds of Christianity books, Road to Bethlehem is both historically and Biblically accurate. As always, it includes Author's Notes full of interesting insights designed to enhance your reading experience.

Nine short stories of SWEET MURDER Killer Recipes Included. What fun to write of a book character trying to kill someone and get away with murder. These stories are served up with a dark sense of humor, not guts and gore. As a Christian woman, I didn't want to use vulgar language, but wanted to keep the characters real, sneaky and some even nasty. The book will keep you interested in figuring out how each murder will be carried out and by whom. The nine Killer Recipes is an added benefit. Enjoy
