Publisher's Synopsis
A Theological Novel of Christ's Victory Over the Powers
Jesus Triumphant: Young Adult Edition is a version of the original novel Jesus Triumphant, edited to be appropriate for ages 13 and above, Grades 8 and above. It is the eighth book in the series, Chronicles of the Nephilim For Young Adults.
The story of Christ like you've never heard it before. Told through the eyes of the two thieves on the cross and the spiritual warfare hidden from mortal men.
It starts with the temptation in the desert by Satan and ends with Christ's descent into Hades, his resurrection and his ascension. In between, we see Jesus' ministry in the context of the Biblical motif of Christ taking back the inheritance of the nations from the rebellious Sons of God. The demons that rose up in that day were not random but were the spirits of the dead Nephilim, and part of a comprehensive battle strategy between Christ and the Powers. When it comes to spiritual warfare, Jesus was no pacifist.
Jesus Triumphant: Young Adult Edition explains why most people misunderstood the deliverer to be a worldly warrior king instead of the suffering Servant he was. He was a warrior, but it was a war they could not see with mortal eyes. In Jesus Triumphant: Young Adult Edition, we now see it.
