She is also stymied in her life and marriage. Hoping to reinvigorate their relationship, Rina's husband convinces her to partake in a night of wife swapping with other Orthodox couples. Rather than preserve her marriage, however, the swap plunges Rina down a heady path that begins with a rekindled passion for painting and culminates in an intoxicating affair with Will, her married Mexican American art teacher. Clandestine rendezvous and stolen moments of ardor awaken Rina to an existence beyond the confining parameters of tradition, offering a glimpse at the possible life she left behind in the olive groves of her youth. As the blush of erotic thrill comes into sharp contrast with the complications of living a secret life, Rina must decide if it's worth sacrificing everything she's ever known to fully inhabit the uncharted landscape unfolding before her, one where her needs take precedence"--

"Searching for Answers in Capernaum" is the fifth book of "The New Way Series." It is based on the first century manuscript "Acts of the Apostles" written by Luke. Capernaum is a large city located in Galilee and a place where Jesus once lived and taught. The children of Capernaum thought it was the most wonderful place to grow up. But as they entered adulthood, they realized that not only was Capernaum not perfect, but maybe their ideas and beliefs were changing, too. As they learned of Jesus' death and resurrection in Jerusalem, they began to search for answers to their questions. Gradually, we see the New Way impacting their world, but we also see Capernaum changing as more and more Jewish Pharisees moved into the area. The New Way that they had discovered became dangerous and even life-threatening as it stood firmly opposed to the traditional beliefs. Acts is a turbulent time of history and Capernaum's children became adults at a time of great social change. "Searching for Answers in Capernaum" is based in first century Galilee, but is relevant as we contemplate the same questions today. Enjoy the fictional account of how these adults dealt with their changing world."Waiting in Obedience in Capernaum" is the next book in The New Way Series and continues with the characters you'll meet in this book.

Capernaum used to be a wonderful place, but it has changed - or have their eyes just been opened? Life as they knew it was gone. Right had become wrong, and wrong had become right.

"Looking Through the Eyes of a Child" is the first book of "The New Way Series." When I completed a chronological study of the first century manuscripts, "The Gospel According to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John," I began to imagine what it might have been like to be a child watching life as only a child can. I wrote a children's book entitled "His Young Friends." While "Looking Through the Eyes of a Child" is about these same children, it is designed to be read by adults who desire to use their imagination to envision what it must have been like to live in the first century at a time of amazing change and transformation, a time of miracles and supernatural happenings. Children have a way of seeing through the games that adults play, the masks they wear, and the bravado they display. It is my hope that you'll be able to see what they saw. There are twenty-two separate stories that together form a biography of the life of Jesus as seen through the eyes of a child.Can you imagine what it must have been like to see Jesus heal your brother, or raise your best friend from the dead, or stop a storm when your boat was sinking? While the characters are fictional, references are given to the manuscripts listed above that form the basis for the stories."The New Way Series" begins with children, but future books will watch them grow to adults and impact their world by what they saw and heard as children. Please enjoy "Looking Through the Eyes of a Child" and anticipate future books in "The New Way Series" based on the manuscript entitled "Acts of the Apostles," written by Luke.
