Biblical Fiction Quotes

“They disregarded the Torah — either willfully, or because the knowledge of the laws regarding handling of the Ark was not properly taught generations to generation. They suffered the consequences for such disobedience. The Philistines are not beholden to our laws. They have no such sacred responsibility. However, they still were cursed because of their foolish boast that they’d been victorious over Yahweh — a notion that the pharaoh in Mosheh’s day learned by suffering his own plagues.”

“Redemption doesn't require a long road; it only requires a turned head and a seeking heart. Even from the height of a cross, the distance to grace is only a prayer away.”

“Mercy? Mercy is a joke told by men with full bellies and dry beds. Up here, there is only the wood, the weight, and the wait. We aren't men anymore; we’re just meat hanging in the sun to warn the others.”

“The Roman scourge had done its work well; severe, calculated, designed not just to punish, but to break the spirit of its victim. You don't survive the beating He endured. You bleed out. You collapse in shock. You die before you even reach the hill, the place of our final destination.”

“Over in the Amazon reviews a reader just said: 'Loved it! Great read especially during this season of Lent and with Good Friday only a week and a half away. Extremely impressed with the historical accuracy and research, although in general a fictional story brings to light/life the reality of capital punishment in ancient Rome. ...' So grateful for the support as we just hit the top 200 in Biblical Fiction!”

“She gently placed her palm on my wounded shoulder and the warmth of her hand did nearly as much to soothe the ache as did the ointment. If only she would continue touching me, allow us to forge something new together from the broken pieces of our past. Her willing presence in my life would be far more healing than any balm”

“This isle of Albion never ceased to amaze him. At night, Jesus would lay awake watching the stars before the gentle lull of the lapping waves sent him to sleep. But naturally, he was not so foolish as to camp where he could be washed out to sea by the tides and always made sure there was a safe way to scale the cliffs if the need arose. Once, he had been startled into wakefulness by an unfamiliar sound but soon realised it was the eerie calling of passing whales communicating with each other as they sang of their joy for life. And as their song resonated deep within his soul, Jesus felt the greatness and generosity of their spirit. Their relevance and connection to the mysteries of the universe.”

“אחר כך ירדה שיירת חירם מן ההר. מורן רכבה ראשונה. בעינים נוצצות ישבה על האוכף, בין השקיים, צמאת מראות, רואה את המרחבים נפתחים לפניה, כמו נכנסת אל עולם שאין לו סוף, מן ההר המשתפל והולך, עד שנעשו הגבעות שוקטות, קטנות, מעט מרעה נמוך פזור עליהן, ורוח חמה מאד אפפה אותם מדרום. הביטה והביטה. אולי כל ימיה צמאה למקום הזה. בכל רגע רחב ליבה יותר. הערבה קבלה אותה בלי קושי, כאילו היא שייכת לה מאז ומעולם. נפעמת קמה בבקרים, קלה, חשה את תמצית החיים בתוך גופה עם כל נשימה, עם כל משב רוח חמימה, מביטה בשמים שנעשו רחבים מאד, כמו צפה בין שמים לשמים, מעולם לא היה לה טוב כבמקום הזה. כל הדברים נעשו פשוטים. הרוח היתה נבונה, מדְרך כף הרגל היה נכון. גם השתיקה. חשה שאין דבר בעולם שלא תוכל לעשותו, אין דבר שיעמוד בפניה.”
