Publisher's Synopsis
This groundbreaking book traces Judas's life from the obscure outskirts of Bethlehem into the bustling world of Jerusalem, while simultaneously showcasing amazing modern-day examples of perseverance and overcoming. Watch as Judas grows from boyhood into a young man, joining a band of men who would become the most famous witnesses of all time. Theologians have long debated whether Judas was possessed by the devil, deranged, or partially tricked into his fateful role. Read his thoughts as he grapples with desire for significance in the shadows of greater men, only to surpass them in the most tragic way. Judas has become the personification of suicide, and his mark on history cannot be downplayed. And how does all this help us today? In an age when many people choose to end their lives, readers will be inspired by stories of modern men and women who have overcome depression, anger, fear, guilt, and shame - having faced evil, both internal and external, and emerged victorious. In a time where self-worth is in crisis, Redeeming Judas paints a picture of determination, grit, and hunger for the betterment of self. The reader will avoid Judas's fatal mistakes and, instead, find worth in an age of self-doubt.
