The Assassin and The Messiah (eBook, ePUB)

But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus - Matthew 12:14 Before the Pharisees conspired with the Sanhedrin, the Jewish court that decided to deliver Jesus to Pontius Pilate, they had made other arrangements to have him killed. In the town of Machaerus, Ezra, son of Lieber, a retired assassin, is approached by two Pharisees from Jerusalem to help assassinate a powerful preacher they believe is misleading the Jewish people. Ezra struggles with the idea of killing another prophet of God. In his attempt to carry out the job the Pharisees have hired him to do, he forms an unlikely bond with the preacher he has been assigned to kill. He soon discovers greater forces at work that he and many others are unaware of. Ezra soon finds himself under tremendous pressure as he is forced into a religious and political battle for the heart and soul of the people of Israel, and he must decide what side to take..
