The Widower and the Washer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Widower and the Washer<\/em> is a memoir that celebrates thirteen years of marriage, processes the grief of loss, and reflects on the value of partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Testament writers had a special word for partnership\u2014koinonia<\/em>. Profoundly rich and multifaceted, koinonia<\/em> embodies layers of meaning that no single English word can fully express. This is the principle on which Jac and Angela built their marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journey alongside Jac as his struggles with laundry illustrate the dynamics of koinonia<\/em> in its fullest meaning. Now, as Jac enters a new season of life, he carries Angela\u2019s legacy and applies these lessons\u2014from their marriage and from Scripture\u2014to the road ahead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Coin and Dagger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew was a tax collector in Roman-occupied Galilee. Despite his comfortable life, he was scorned and shunned by his fellow Judeans. To them, Matthew was a traitor who lined Rome\u2019s coffers, and his own, at the expense of the people of Galilee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simon was a Zealot; loyal to God, the Judean people, and their traditions. Not content to see God\u2019s people suffering, Simon was ready and willing to take up arms to free his homeland from Rome\u2019s oppression and pagan influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their paths had crossed before. Now a Nazarene teacher has arrived in Capernaum with new ideas and a new purpose that challenges both their worldviews in unexpected ways. Despite their differences, Matthew and Simon confront their shared history and divergent ideals as they embark on a new mission that meets strong resistance from both sides.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
