Sight In The Sandstorm: Jesus In His World and Mine

By Ann J. Temkin

Jesus and his companions come to life within the rich context of turbulent 1st century Palestine. The political, socio-economic, and religious conditions of the Jewish people living under Roman rule provide moving and meaningful insight into Jesus, his life, and his teachings. His kingdom of love and service contrasts sharply with the kingdom of the Roman Empire ruled by Caesar through domination and cruelty. These kingdoms ultimately collide, but the apparent winner does not have the final word. Stories from the author's life are intertwined as the combination proclaims a message transcending time and place about human struggle against oppression and a path to liberation. Touching, suspenseful, and, at times, startlingly beautiful, Sight In The Sandstorm illustrates the power of an extravagantly loving God, a God on the loose in the whole world then and now.
