The Maker created this team of animal friends to be his envoys for pivotal points of history. This will be their most important mission ever: to be with Jesus throughout his childhood, ministry, passion and resurrection. The story of Christ is told as a story within a story: as George F. Handel writes the greatest music to ever be written in London 1741- Messiah. This action-packed adventure opens in 1735 London when famous composer George Friedric Handel is upsettingly passed over by the King of England for the most important musical post in the world. Little does Handel know that God has a far greater assignment - the writing of the most important piece of music of all time: Messiah. In order to fully inspire Handel, the Order of the Seven revisits the life of Christ, working behind the scenes from Jesus? childhood to adulthood where he begins his ministry. The team follows Jesus and his twelve disciples through the joy and controversy of Jesus? ministry leading up to the painful purpose of his coming: the Passion. The Enemy tried to prevent Messiah?s birth - now he will stop at nothing to ensure his death through the Pharisees, Herod, Pilate and Judas. But everything becomes clear as to why the Cross is the Divine Plan all along. Follow Jesus? disciples and once again visit the Roman family of Antonius, all of whom play a pivotal role in the events of the greatest story ever told. The animal team was with Isaiah when he wrote the words, now they will be with Handel as he writes the music. They must retrieve three items from their time with Jesus to bring back to 1741 London, crucial for Nigel to play his mouse-sized violin in Handel?s ear every night to inspire the music of Messiah. The climactic ending takes readers to the London premiere of Messiah where the King of England realizes that the King of Kings reigns supreme, and unbeknownst to him, is present at the premiere of Messiah as well. Review FIVE STARS (Reviewed by Lynn F. for Readers Favorite) \"An excellent series that should be in every child's home library. Not only do they learn about the Bible and the characters but they go along on an adventure as well.\" From the Author \"Nowthere are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to bewritten, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that wouldbe written.\" - John 21:25 Preach it, John! My esteemed fellow author indeedknows what he's talking about. Trust me, I couldn't even fully write about allof the things Jesus did that werewritten down. I know how overwhelmed John and this three colleagues (Matthew,Mark and Luke) must have felt in trying to capture everything Jesus did. I haveto admit it was a bit overwhelming as I began the process of tackling a book onthe life of THE central figure in all of history: Jesus Christ. I haven'tcovered every single scene of Jesus' ministry. I've hit the highlights, majorscenes and crucial things to know about the road leading to the cross. But whenit comes to the Passion, every word is there. As Michael P. Monaco explained, God spoke to me atone of his concerts in Williamsburg, and the plot line of writing the story ofJesus within the story of Handel writing Messiahfell into my heart and mind. God spoke to me on another pivotal night:Christmas Eve 2011. I was sitting in the Church of the Apostles in Atlanta, GAwhen he said, \"You need to get to London and sit in Handel's composing room andwrite.\" I replied, \"Seriously, God?\" To which he replied, \"SERIOUSLY.\" So on March 5, 2012, I sat in the very room whereHandel wrote Messiah and wrote thescene of him writing it. I cannot begin to tell you how surreal that was, and Ipray that the inspiration I experienced will s\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMG Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32446908465229,"sku":"9780899577913","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/5296\/9542\/products\/9780899577913.jpg?v=1672947114","url":"https:\/\/biblestore.com\/products\/the-roman-the-twelve-and-the-king-9780899577913","provider":"Biblestore.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
