Products > The Maccabees: Forgotten Heroes of
Israel
This is the epic tale of war, heroism, treachery, and tragedy. It is from a time when God and religion were the center of existence for all men and women. This is a story of a woman and the strength she gave her seven sons. it is the story of an old man who realized manhood and wisdom meet in old age. it is the story of a man and his five sons who left everything and sacrificed their lives to restore God's laws. But mostly it is a tale of the power of faith and prayer -- of God's hand in man's work. This work is adapted from the 1st and 2nd book of Maccabees of the Douay-Rhiems version of the Holy Bible, with minor editorial changes for clarity. With the historical context provided from the writings of Warren H. Carroll by way of introduction, this inspiring true story can be thoroughly enjoyed by all. Thus the underlying truths about faith, prayer, and God's love for his people can be realized from the reading of this oft overlooked book. [from the back cover] This retelling of the Biblical saga of the Jewish revolt against the forces of Greek oppression and religious persecution will inspire a new generation of readers. The story of the Maccabees is the historical backdrop for the coming of the Messiah, and sets the stage for His eventual crucifixion. This is history that needs to be remembered and passed down to our children - it is the history of the Jewish people, it is also the history of Christ and His Church. Recommended for use with Connecting With History, Unit 10.
