Product Description
Seventeen-year-old Joan of Arc remains the youngest supreme military commander in history and the most attested human being up to the sixteenth century. Her story attracts Catholics, Protestants, and nonbelievers alike. Joan’s interactions with God’s messengers, fulfilled prophesies, humble spirit, bold actions, love of God, and prayer-centered life are all consistent with those of the great prophets and saints of the Bible. People have wrestled with the supernatural aspects of her case for centuries. But in a time of increasing New Age spirituality, Joan of Arc makes a powerful witness for the triune God of the Bible. Although much has been written about her, no scripturally based examination of her case has yet been recorded. In Joan of Arc and the God of the Bible, author Chris Snidow studies the many parallels between Joan and the saints and prophets of the Bible, providing undeniably consistent similarities between these powerful witnesses for God. “I was impressed and intrigued with his unique perspective as he carefully explained the many similarities between Joan and the Prophets of the Bible…his writing style is easy to read, very interesting, and informative. I highly recommend this book…” —Virginia Frohlick, president of the Joan of Arc Center, Albuquerque, New Mexico

Reader Reviews
Obviously with the title Chris has used, it is no surprise that the book delves into the spiritual aspects of Joan's life. Let me give you a brief summary. The 146 pages are divided into 15 chapters and 2 appendices. The book links Joan's story with hundreds of Bible verses. Some of the most interesting chapters (for me) are: Chapter 4 compares Joan's call by God to the calls of various Bible characters and notes the many similarities. Chapter 6 compares the signs Joan used to authenticate her call with the signs used by various Bible people. Chris lists 14 similarities of Joan's mission as compared to the earthly mission of Jesus. Chapters 7 and 8 compares Joan's commitment to serve and obey God with similar commitments made by those called by God in the Bible. Chapter 9 lists 18 similarities of the persecution of Joan with the persecution of Jesus. For those of you interested in comparing Joan's battlefield actions with those of the Bible, chapter ten is for you. Chapter 11 Joan's prophecies and other miracles in her life are discussed at great length in this chapter. I would highly recommend this book to anyone searching to know more about Joan's "inner strength."
