SYNOPSIS:
What do a cynical, non-conformist dry-goods salesman, a disgruntled blacksmith and a musing mendicant all have in common? Down deep, they all seek for something better; and, eventually, they all find the childlike humility and faith required for true fulfillment.
The non-conformist, Manaheem, Herods foster brother, helps Herod foment an insurrection against Pilate, using the blacksmith, Barabbas as leader, to the dismay of the latters Godly but fearful wife. The Mendicant, a young man named Timotheus, joins with an older beggar completely unsympathetic to his musings. Meanwhile, Pilates wife pushes him to take over Herods territory.
When the insurrection fails, Manaheem turns to blackmail, and Barabbas turns to robbery, enlisting the aid of our two beggars. Manaheem almost loses his one true love, his former wife, Claressa, with whom he is trying to re-unite. The robbery goes bad, and Barabbas and the beggars get caught and are sentenced to death.

Reviewer Quotes:

A Novel of Substance,
I felt is was a gripping and powerful read that held me in Intrigue and suspense. A book that could be enjoyed by Christians and non Christians alike. I would not hesitate to recommend it to my friends.
---A reader from Yorkshire England

Of Such Is The Kingdom is a fictional novel based on Biblical truths. James Becher has artfully taken the events surrounding Jesus' time and told what could have been from each characters perspective. The story has a powerful message that has clearly been displayed throughout the novel. Mr. Becher takes you through a wide range of emotions from beginning to end. As you turn the final pages,... you are...feeling grateful,...hopeful and joyful, knowing that the Gospel of Jesus Christ affects and changes... lives. This is a great novel that I'm sure you will enjoy!
