Books with title New Testament

Braverman Shaw--"Bravo" to his friends--always knew his father had secrets. But not until Dexter Shaw dies does Bravo discover that his father belonged to the Order of Gnostic Observatines, a hidden sect long believed to be extinct. For centuries, the Order has guarded a lost Testament that could shake Christianity to its foundations. Dexter Shaw was the latest Keeper of the Testament--and Bravo is his chosen successor. To find the Testament, Bravo, a medieval scholar and cryptanalyst, must follow the clues his father left behind. His companion in this quest is Jenny Logan, a woman he barely knows. Jenny is a Guardian, assigned by the Order to protect Bravo, or so she claims. Bravo soon learns that he can trust no one where the Testament is concerned, perhaps not even Jenny....

Troy Phelan hates his greedy, spoiled children. The aging multibillionaire knows that they're circling like vultures as he waits to die. Phelan's surprising last will and testament names a heretofore unknown beneficiary--a missionary living deep in the wilds of Brazil. Nate O'Riley, a lawyer fresh from his fourth stay in rehab, is sent to find her. Along the way, he learns about God and himself, and he discovers that the dangers of alcohol pale in comparison with the perils of the jungle. This abridgment, though jumpy at times, flows smoothly thanks to narrator Frank Muller's performance. Unabridged 9 1/2 hours.

Illustrated throughout with two-color drawings and color photographs, which impart a lively charm, "Making New Testament Toys" shows children how to make dozens of familiar New Testament figures out of inexpensive everyday materials. As one might expect, the Nativity is a prominent subject, and children will also enjoy making a splendid wolf in sheep’s clothing, a brawny Roman soldier, a Good Samaritan, plus a variety of other biblical people, animals, and scenes. Teachers and parents will especially welcome the broad range of craft techniques employed. Children will enjoy making their own New Testament toys for exhibits or holiday decoration. This is the joyous successor to Margaret Hutchings’ much-praised book, “Making Old Testament Toys.”

In a plush Virginia office, a rich, angry old man is furiously rewriting his will. With his death just a few hours away, Troy Phelan wants to send a message to his children, ex-wives, and his minions, a message that will touch off a vicious legal battle and transform dozens of lives. Because Troy Phelan’s new will names a sole surprise heir to his eleven-billion-dollar fortune: a mysterious woman named Rachel Lane, a missionary living deep in the jungles of Brazil. Enter the lawyers, Nate O’Riley is fresh out of rehab, a disgraced corporate attorney handpicked for his last job: to find Rachel Lane at any cost. As Phelan’s family circles like vultures in D.C., Nate is crashing through the Brazilian jungle, entering a world where money means nothing, where death is just one misstep away, and where a woman—pursued by enemies and friends alike—holds a stunning surprise of her own.
