Title: Persuaded: The Story of Nicodemus – A Novel

By: David Harder

A CBM Christian Book Review

10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Persuaded: The Story of Nicodemus – A Novel by David Harder sheds light on Biblical scenes taken from the story of Nicodemus. As a work of fiction, David Harder is a long time Bible student, taking the story of Nicodemus and his infamous question, “How can one be born again?” to new levels. A broader understanding of Yeshua (Jesus), His teachings, the times, the cultures and language of the Hebrews make this novel an epic saga. Characters in the Bible come to life – the twelve disciples, Joseph of Arimathea, and the fight over Jerusalem in the days of Roman occupation of Israel uncover secrets and keys to the Kingdom of God. Discover Jesus in a fresh new way. Recommended for all mature and new believers, this book can also be used as a tool to help non-believers understand the Good News of the Gospel

Beginning with The Siege of Jerusalem, the author unravels how the story of the miracles of Jesus led the disciples of Christ to Him as the Messiah. Jesus became a threat to the religious leaders of His day. Nicodemus, as one brought up to be in the Sanhedrin and a Pharisee, played a key part in history as told in the Gospel of John. The author gives life to the story through the calling of Nicodemus by John, the Revelator, to deliver a manuscript to the emerging Christian community. Without this key element of being “born of water and the Spirit” Christianity would not survive the onslaught from the Roman empire bent on crushing any further words, legacy, or teachings of Jesus. Nicodemus, his life, his encounters, his midnight encounter with Jesus and his boldness are captured in adventure that encapsulates Israel at that time. The author keeps readers on the edge-of-their seat as we travel back in time to understand how entering the Kingdom of God and Nicodemus’ important role unfolding chapter-by-chapter.

David Harder with detail and accuracy parallels the journey of Bible that include such climaxes as the Passover and the Crucifixion. With the inclusion of the ancient history of Israel and the rise of Christianity, this unique weaving of events makes this book an amazing read. Offering truth from the Gospel, faith and encouragement, readers’ gain insight into the man named Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God, and how He is the Bread of Life. Nicodemus becomes transformed from being a sceptic to a devout follower. Bringing the readers full circle, the book gives an overview of the future and Christ’s Second Coming. 

A Must-Read Christian fiction, Persuaded: The Story of Nicodemus - A Novel gives insight into how it might have been for those that dared, those who believed and risked their lives such as Nicodemus for the Gospel, giving credence to the one who asked the infamous question, “How can one be born again?”

Persuaded provides the answers and so much more! 

I find that this book grabbed me from the first sentence. I just had to keep reading to find out more. This action-packed book truly has the makings of a great movie! Wonderfully creative yet fulfilling in its Biblical accuracy for a fiction novel with that is a superbly articulated story-line. Christian Book Reviews sharing Christian books with Christian readers.

A CBM Christian Book Review

10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Goliath Killers: Destroying Stubborn Challenges by Israel Jimah speaks of battles with evil by presenting the truth of the Word and power of God to defeat the enemy in our lives. In slaying these Goliath’s the author offers readers sound instruction in fortifying their faith and knowledge in the Word of God. He exposes the tactics and the schemes of Satan by giving a clear picture of who Satan is, offering the divine wisdom of God that brings victory when in a battle. Giving the core of the real battle – the unseen realm spiritual realm and the battle over the souls of men, believers in Christ already have the victory if they stand in faith.  In this way, through the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, readers understand what it is to be a Goliath Killer. 

By first presenting an overview of the pride and fall of Lucifer, this is the battle we fight here on Earth. These battles we all face are wars and battles against darkness, as the Kingdom of God forges forth upon the Earth, so does the kingdom of darkness bring resistance. The author utilizes Scripture in the King James Version, giving hope and encouragement for these stubborn (evil) challenges.

Reflection upon Scripture also reveal Jesus in His Majesty and glory; He is the catalyst for change. When light enters, darkness flees. The author’s representation of the boy that was demonized that the disciples of Christ could not set free. The demon obeyed Jesus. But why couldn’t the disciples cast out this demon if they had been given the keys of the Kingdom? This book gives answers as to “How To” break the powers of these stubborn issues relating to spiritual warfare through Biblical examples, concepts, strategies and solutions.

With such chapters as: The Conflict, Winning the Battle, The Revelation of Jesus, Victorious Forever, God’s End-Time David’s, Put on Your own Armor, Invading Enemy Territory, Fighting in the Flesh?, What Jesus Said in a Vision & Praying in the Spirit. Each chapter highlights the power of the Kingdom and insight into God’s End-Time David’s. This is an exciting book that teaches the reality of the war-at-hand and the reality of our weapons in warfare. For they are not carnal, yet supernatural in nature that give saints that have Goliath’s they need to conquer in their own lives.

A wonderfully encouraging read based upon sound doctrine that offers Biblical solutions and the Word of God to stand on for some of your Goliaths (most challenging situations and circumstances). Believers in Christ will are instructed in the ways of God and in the knowledge of God through this book. This is a must-read for all Christians during these turbulent times!

The Christian Book Review - High Marks

The Christian Book Review is pround to present Overcoming Abuse: My Body Belongs to God and Me – A Child’s Body Safety Guide by Reina Davison speaks to children, telling them they are “Overcomers.” 

This is a very highly recommended read! 

10.0 Stars

A wonderful truth in God’s Word, as she begins the book by the definition of what an overcomer is. Opening children’s eyes to the truth of God’s purpose and plans for them, she goes on to describe God’s gift of free will. 

Describing Good Touch and Bad Touch; she elaborates on these two and what that can encompass. There are Good Touch people and Bad Touch people. Her book gives hope to children who have or have not experienced abuse by speaking the truth of God’s love and care for their body. She also teaches children how to prevent abuse by giving them the tools to know the difference between a healthy relationship and unhealthy relationships.

Writing from a Biblical perspective, yet incredibly gentle and simple, Reina Davison gives hope and guidance that exposes the darkness and sin of the enemy lurking in our lives. These people are unsafe and “No Touch” people as Reina explains. Her premise teaches children the principle of becoming “Overcomers” in Christ Jesus. 

A fantastic book that teaches wonderful and enlightening spiritual truths to children. (Note: This book just may encourage adults as well; teaching them that they are overcomers!) I personally enjoyed the uplifting truths to her book and thought…I wish I had a book such as this when I was a child. You will be delighted by this book as well.

As a guidebook, this book teaches parents, caregivers, family members, etc., to understand what safe behavior is in and out of the home. Her Body Safety guide in the back provides a checklist for adults to adhere to in protecting children.

With beautiful illustrations, the author sheds light on walking in the truth of God’s Word, while giving them instruction of their enemy (the devil), the Bible, and Jesus, offering hope and encouragement to look to Jesus as their help and Savior. Her book shows that God has a good plan for them and cares for them. She shares that they are Overcomers and can defeat the enemy (the devil) and that because of Jesus, they too can choose to be of Good Cheer (be happy). 

This book comes highly recommended for all children who need to be taught encouraging truths about God’s Word, and especially is a tool to be used by parents, counselors, pastors, child psychologists, medical personnel, and lay persons to teach about healthy sexual boundaries.  

To tell you the truth, this is one of those books parents should utilize in teaching their children about bad people that sin and touch inappropriately. She has given a list of resources in the back of the book, and is an advocate of ending child sexual abuse. Written with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity to children’s pure intellects, this book does a wonderful job in tackling a difficult subject.

“Thank you, Reina Davison, for your work to protect the vulnerable children of the world!” ~ CBM Christian Book Reviews.

When you seek me, you will find me, provided you seek for me whole heartedly, and I will let you find me, says Adonai.” This is his way of expressing God’s hope for you in a troubled world.
