Description
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.

Person
Steve Jordan has spent more than twenty years exploring the human psyche in the Christian experience. He has worked for more than a decade in full-time ministry, church planting, and house church circles. The real-life struggles of Bible characters has long been an underexplored topic, and Steve has spent much of his time reconciling the light and dark sides of these issues via chemical recovery and mental health groups. Growing up in three states, Steve has seen a broad spectrum of human behavior and broken his own share of laws, and yet continues to seek what God has in store for him. Married with five kids, Steve spends his professional life as an accountant in the Cincinnati, Ohio area.
