TITLE: Son of Destruction
CATEGORY: Biblical Fiction
He was born into a life of privilege and wealth. That life was also tainted by tragedy that invited the shadows of evil to darken the landscape of a child’s destiny. The promise of inheriting his father’s kingdom if he could only earn his favor drove Judas to make choices he would always regret. But Judas’ father wasn’t who he appeared to be. And the kingdom that Judas longed for was built upon a foundation of lies.
With secrets and manipulation as his weapons of choice, Simon Iscariot armored his son well. When the time was right, he thrust Judas into the role of a spy. A Man claiming to be Messiah threatened everything Simon Iscariot had built in his personal kingdom. He needed someone he could trust to unravel the mystery of the Nazarene named Yeshua. Who better than his own son to take down the charlatan? What he did not plan on was the powerful effect of truth chipping away at the duplicitous crust of his son’s heart. Would Judas ultimately choose a controversial Rabbi over his own father? Or would Judas’ greed and desire convince him that following his father’s lies was the better choice?
In the end, the far-reaching consequences of one man’s sin ultimately played into the plan and purpose of God. But is it the end of a story that determines the story’s worth? How impactful is the truth that God can use evil for good? What does it mean when God employs a tragic story for the salvation of another?
This story is complete with questions at the end of the book for group discussion or personal bible study relating to each chapter.
