James: The Brother Who Believed
What if the greatest skeptic became the strongest believer?James knew his brother Jesus better than anyone-they'd grown up together, worked side by side in their father's carpenter shop, shared the same small house in Nazareth. So when Jesus began claiming to be the Messiah, James was embarrassed, frustrated, and convinced his brother had lost his mind.
While crowds proclaimed Jesus a miracle worker, James saw the boy who used to steal figs and blame it on him. While disciples followed Jesus across Galilee, James stayed home, choosing skepticism over faith, safety over sacrifice.
Then came the crucifixion. And three days later, everything changed.
Based on biblical research, this powerful novel brings to life one of Scripture's most compelling transformation stories. Follow James from his early doubts through his encounter with the risen Christ, his emergence as a leader in the early church, and his pivotal role in the Jerusalem Council that opened Christianity to the world.
Author Keith Manley, a pastor with over 40 years of ministry experience, masterfully weaves together biblical accounts, historical context, and human emotion to create an unforgettable portrait of doubt transformed into unshakeable faith.
Perfect for readers of Francine Rivers, Bodie Thoene, and Lynn Austin.
Some of the strongest faith is forged in the workshop of honest questioning.
Discover how the carpenter's brother became the cornerstone of the early church-and why his journey from skeptic to saint offers hope for anyone who has ever struggled with doubt.
