Ted Dekker

As believers, our walk with God is motivated by hope-not the bland, vague notion most people have, but the expectation of an exotic, pleasurable inheritance that guides us and fires our passion...or, at least, should.Ted Dekker has written an expose on the death of pleasure within the Church. Because many of us have set aside hope and the inspired imagination that drives it, Dekker says we have been lulled into a slumber of boredom, even despondency. Our faith wanes, the joy at having been liberated fades, and we feel powerless. The Slumber of Christianity explores what robs us of happiness and how we can rediscover it and live lives that rekindle hope. The pursuit of pleasure is a gift to all humans-a function of the Creator himself, who is bent upon our happiness.It's time for Christians to reclaim our inheritance of pleasure. The Slumber of Christianity will inflame hearts toward full-fledged, mind-expanding encounters with hope, through the imagination.

Ett menneske er nøkkelen til å finne Paktkisten - men han befinner seg langt inne i ørkenen, og ingen har sett ham siden han var gutt. I denne eksplosive oppfølgeren av "Mirakelbarnet", har Rebecca Soloman kommandoen over en gruppe militære og arkeologer på vei inn i den etiopiske ørkenen for å finne det ene mennesket som kanskje vet hvor Paktkisten er. Å finne den er å gi folket hennes håpet tilbake. Jakten blir både spennende og farlig, og Rebecca finner både uventet kjærlighet og noe som er langt større og mektigere enn den hellige gjenstanden. Samtidig sender islamske fundamentalister Ismael, sin dyktigste snikskytter, etter Rebecca og mannen hun leter etter. De frykter at hvis Paktkisten blir funnet, vil Israel gjenreise Salomos tempel - akkurat der deres hellige moské i Jerusalem ligger. Men mannen de leter etter er ingen vanlig mann. Hans navn er Kaleb, og han er også ute på et oppdrag: Å finne igjen den kjærligheten han tok imot som barn, og dele den med verden.

Sammen med Leiah, den fransk-kanadiske sykepleieren som flykter til USA med dem, oppdager Jason for alvor Kalebs unaturlige krefter. Men det gjør også guttens fiender som ikke vil la noe komme i veien for å ødelegge ham. Jason og Leiah kjemper for guttens liv mens verden bryter ut i debatt om hvor guttens kraft kommer fra. Ingen er forberedt på svaret som kommer.
