Camp Israel of God: A Journey to Know God - E-book - ePub

'Are You Truly Converted?' is the gospel message that sends a twelve-year-old boy in search for truth. Naphtali-a skinny six-foot-one basketball player and video game lover-is sure of his relationship with God. And who can blame him? He attends church regularly and doesn't smoke or drink, unlike his peers. However, upon hearing a message about true salvation one night, he realizes things in his life just don't add up.
The message convicts his heart. Once he falls asleep, he has a dream. In his dream, while propped against a tree, an angel appears to him and tells him to go through seven camps to find what he's seeking. With a most peculiar character as his guide, Naphtali journeys to seven camps-Tolerance, Freedom, Religion, Miracles, Love and Mercy, Slavery, Israel of God. There is no end to the perils he faces-from a camp that outlaws the Bible and deems it a book of hate to a camp that believes capturing people and selling them as slaves is big business! In each camp, he learns truth about God and truth about his own heart.
Both young and old can identify with the internal struggles of fear, suffering, loss and temptation that Naphtali encounters as he embarks on truth. After learning truth, will he suppress it in his heart; or will he make the choice to deny his flesh, take up his cross, and follow Christ?
