I recently ran across a great Christian manga series. It's available in numerous languages and simply a Bible manga. Go to the following website to view the series: nextmanga.com/

Just finished reading Blessed John Paul II's "Rise, Let Us Be On Our Way". If you're looking for a biography on John Paul II this isn't it. There are a lot of nice thoughts contained in the book but precious little biography.

The Bible makes clear when Jesus says "No person comes to the Father except through me" that there is only one way to God and one way to heaven. Only faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord will provide forgiveness for our sins and give us the hope of heaven.

One of the great mysteries of the New Testament is what was Jesus doing during the majority of his life that we know nothing about. Leaving aside the story of his birth, the only information we have about the younger years of Jesus comes from the Gospel of Luke who describes an occasion when a precocious twelve-year-old Jesus speaks in the temple, impressing his elders. The Bible is then silent about the following twenty year period of Jesus’ life until he reappears on the scene around the age of thirty when he is baptized by John and begins his ministry. 





What happened during these missing years of Jesus’ life? What experiences might have shaped Jesus into the man he became? Why do we find so many parallels between the teachings of Hinduism and Buddhism and the teachings of Jesus, who was considered a subversive in his Roman and Jewish community? Could a clue to these missing years come from a controversial discovery over a century ago by a Russian journalist?

In my new novel, THE BREATH OF GOD, I example the implications of this journalist’s historical discovery through a fictional story of suspense, mystery, and mysticism.
