Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All Yakov wanted was to save Jesus's legacy. All Paul wanted was to create a dynamic religion with himself as the master priest. Haunted by the brutal execution of Jesus, his brother Yakov dwells in constant fear of persecution in lakeside Galilee where the Romans rule with bloodstained hands. When the other disciples elect him as their new leader, he decides to form a secret society in the shadows of the Jerusalem Temple. One day, an affluent tentmaker from Tarsus named Paul approaches Yakov with a wild tale of Jesus having risen from the dead as the long-awaited Messiah. But to the disciples, their beloved Jesus was just a humble teacher, not a god. And they saw him die, they even entombed his body. Saul scoffs at their objections and insists that only his version of Jesus as the Savior is true, and a bitter battle of faith ensues. Now the disciples must fight to keep Jesus’s message of oneness with God alive. Can they succeed in a world where the rich and powerful always prevail? Spanning three decades, against a backdrop of increasingly violent Roman rule, THE HOLY CONSPIRACY is a tour de force of love and faith, arrogance and humility from one of our most inspirational new authors.
