Please correct the epub of "The Whole Truth" also.

... looks like the right file to me. Chrome doesn't usually give previews of epubs, so you have to download it, but it's looks like the right file.

I am a little off with the timeline of the books. I would love to get back to reading them, but I am missing the piece.
 

Bro Walker, would you kindly share more insights on the order of the “between the verses” series?

Between the Verses is a series that each tells a 'Bible Time' and a 'Modern' story, side by side, for comparison purposes. The modern sides aren't that chronological, and follow different people. The Bible Time half of the story is most chronological, starting with Genesis.

 

1) Written Beforehand: Noah's Time.

2) In My integrity: Joseph's time.

3) The Whole Truth: Moses's first confrontation with the King, and The First Plague of Egypt.

4) You Will Know: The Plagues, and the Exodus.

5) Walking To Paradise: The Red Sea to the Golden Calf.

6) He Will Call: Job's story.

7) The Sake of My Name: The 40 Year Exile in the Wilderness.

[Thomas Walker]

Well, a little sooner than I planned. Amazon always says 'Up To 72 Hours' to publish, but you never know where in that 72 Hours' it will arrive.

 

 

The Sake Of My Name is now available for Kindle on Amazon.

Oskar doesn't know how the world changed so fast. One moment he was living a normal life, and the next, he was a prisoner of the Nazi's. His daughter has been taken from him, and his life before the Camp is barely a memory. His only Crime is following his faith, and refusing to fight in a War that has consumed the world.

 

Thousands of years before, a man named Takarut is living a similar situation. He has rejected the teachings, and gods of his youth in Egypt, to follow Israel on their path to freedom; in service to Jehovah God. And yet, at the very entrance to the Promised Land, his new people changed their minds.

 

Both men will have to endure the most unexpected of trials. Neither of them know what will come next, or how long it might last. Both men have only the support of those in the same situation, and the hope that their faith gives them; as they both attempt to endure the greatest challenge of their lives

For those of you who aren't buying from the US Amazon store, it'll get there in another day or so. The Paperback version will follow. It's already set up, but usually takes a while to upload to all International Amazon Stores. If you're a regular follower, you'll know that I need to wait a few days before I put the text up for free on the blog, or Amazon's webcrawlers will accuse me of plagiarizing myself. (I know, but it's happened before.)

 

Enjoy!

I'm so excited to read this one too. The others have been captivating.

[Thomas Walker]

So, the Paperback is now ready to go.

 

Another day for the Webcrawlers, and I'll put it all up on the Blog. My thanks to everyone who's purchased it so far. I hope you're enjoying it.

[Thomas Walker]

I figure enough time has passed to make Amazon happy, so the Blog now includes the whole book, free of charge.

 

Chapter One: Just Rumors

 

Chapter Two: "What Happens Now?!"

 

Chapter Three: Not Going Anywhere

 

Chapter Four: Not Everyone Agrees

 

Chapter Five: Testing The Limits

 

Chapter Six: Apostasy

 

Chapter Seven: Something New

 

Chapter Eight: Nothing More Human

 

Chapter Nine: The Crucible

 

Chapter Ten: Time Conquers All

 

Chapter Eleven: Swords Into Plowshares

 

Chapter Twelve: How Many Miracles?

 

Epilogue

 

 

Of course, if you'd like to support the Author, please do tell others who might be interested, or make a purchase on Amazon. It helps with the algorithms, if nothing else.

 

Since the book is now posted for free in it's entirety, I also declare this thread to be 'Spoiler Territory'. Feel free to talk about the books openly here. (Please. Because when I go too long between publishing a new book and hearing something from the people who've read it, a part of me is convinced I've messed something up completely.

As with all of your amazing books, I practically inhaled this one in 2 sittings (yes, nonstop thru the night!)!  Now, the Real work begins, rereading large portions to get the deeper meanings you’ve buried, comparing with Scripture text, pondering & digesting this lovely new Feast!  
Matt, your writing never fails to enlighten, encourage & satisfy.  Thank you.

Quote

“Daniel knew the question of food was deeper than what to eat. Jesus knew he was being asked about more than a coin. The real point in both cases wasn’t obedience, it was identity. Jesus was being challenged to identify himself as a rebel against Rome. Daniel was being asked to identify himself as a willing citizen of Babylon.” Matheo summed up. “What will our identity be? Today, the question of our identity as a people is growing more and more relevant, while all sides in the political affairs of the world become more and more passionate, even hostile. That’s why, just a short time ago, our own organization took on a new, global, and unified name: We are Jehovah’s Witnesses. Above all other things, above nationality, race, or favorite sports team: That is our name. That's who we're with. It's not just an identity, it's a mission statement. We're not soldiers, or judges, or prosecutors. We're Witnesses.”

 

Quote

All we have to do is surrender, and tell the world, in writing, that our faith isn’t real. See, that’s the point: Faith is like Hope. You can’t steal it from someone. They have to give it up.”

 

Quote

“When I was debating with my father, I had to defend my beliefs to another. Right now, we are prisoners. But we’re also free. Free from distractions. Free from ‘shades of grey’. It’s all black and white now. The only people we need to build up are each other. The only people we need to convince are ourselves.” Matheo seemed steadfast. “In debate, we have to get the Truth into our heads. To hold on while under oppression? It’s about keeping the Truth in our hearts.”

 

Quote

Leahe suddenly realized this was true. They’d never get anything but Manna. She looked at Emet, playing outside. By the time her son entered the Promised Land, there’d be a whole generation who didn't know how to prepare a meal, as they’d never know anything else as food. Nor would they know how to repair clothing, since the clothes and sandals never wore out or became threadbare…

 

Quote

Endurance is one of the most important qualities of faith.” Matheo said serenely. “Our endurance brings honor to Jehovah, showing Him, and the world that we don’t quit when things get tough. It builds Endurance in our brothers, helping them to ‘hold on’. And above all, by showing endurance we gain God’s approval. After all, some of the giants of our faith had to hold on for decades, in the face of injustice. And at all those points, Jehovah never lightened their load… He gave them bigger, stronger shoulders to carry on with.

 

Quote

“Sooner or later, those gates will open, and we will leave this darkness.” Matheo said seriously. “History will remember the survivors. Certainly the Brothers will. Every single Witness is in here because we said ‘Yes’ to God when it was difficult, and ‘No’ to men when it was impossible. Our brothers will remember that. Certainly God will. Maybe even the history books will know what we endured for.”
