After having his son kidnapped and suffering other tribulations, a rabbi in seventeenth-century Poland forces a confrontation with the religious and political powers afflicting the people of his faith.
Danrey and Christie Amoyo knew that they wanted to be parents, but when their happy announcement turned into the worst possible scenario they found out that becoming parents was not to be an easy path for them. This book is a written testimony of how determination, coming from a new revelation of faith, can change lives. It will demonstrate that the promises we read about in the Bible are for us today, even if we don’t yet know how they apply to the situations we’re living through. Be encouraged by the Amoyos experience as, after years of heartbreak and loss, the Word becomes real and they put their faith first.

From the time he was a little boy, born the second of six siblings, D. L. Israel found his place as a leader. He was raised by a single mother on welfare and worked throughout high school to help his family. By the time he was in his midtwenties, he had saved $10,000, purchased a home, and established a retirement fund. But he found that God had bigger plans for his life. The life lessons shared in D. L. Israels book deal with learning to listen to what God has planned, rather than following ones earthly desires. A natural storyteller, D. L. shares what he has learned having humility rather than pride, needing love and hope and shunning hate and envy, putting forth goodness and wisdom rather than evil and discouragement. He has learned to accept life for what it is worth and seeks to inspire his readers to follow a similar path.
From the ruins of past glory and promise, the martyrs have returned to fulfill the prophesy of the last Cathar Perfect when he cried from the flames, When seven hundred years have passed, the leaves of the bay tree will again turn green. In expectation of the child who ushers in the dawn of the Light of Lights, they wait. ********************************************** The book isn't the next Da Vinci Code, nor is it intended to be. It goes far beyond where that book stopped. It's far more timely and topical, tapping into the growing awareness of the ancient Gnostic tradition. While there are other books out there that have reflected some of these themes, I don't believe any have done so in either the intuitively and historically accurate way that Promised Child does, with such a natural, storytelling flow, nor do any look into the future in quite the arresting way that this book does.
