About this ebook

CROSS PURPOSES is presented as a historical novel. The story includes a strong Biblical component to support the feasibility of the basically true story of 'Manaen who grew up with Herod' as verified in Acts 13:1. It is the story of a "Palace Peasant".
Manaen records his experiences from early childhood, dwelling in the Herodion - the palace of Herod the Great, situated near Bethlehem. He becomes a student of the Rabbinic School attached to Jerusalem's Temple.
In then taking on the role of a scribe, Manaen is able to observe at close range the major events surrounding the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, the Nazarene.
A strong affinity between the writer and his friend, Jesus, is maintained throughout what could be titled "The Fifth Gospel" for the Good News is here presented, through Manaen's memoirs, in a unique way though remaining true to the Scriptural records.
Manaen and his princess bride finally choose to become integral members of the Community of Faith. Their pilgrimage provides a panorama of discovery, pathos, joy, intrigue, scholarship, friendship, villainy, love, faith, sorrow, hope and fulfillment.
