Stories from Martha's House

The Biblical Gathering Place for Friends and Strangers

By: Rev. Carole M. Lunde

Luke 10:38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. This short story in the Book of Luke indicates that Martha, Mary, Lazarus, and Jesus were dear friends. It is possible they met at her house often. There is a middle eastern tradition of hospitality to strangers. So it is also possible travelers were accorded hospitality at Marthas as well. I chose Marthas house as the place where stories were shared and expanded those stories. It is exciting to flesh these stories out with characters that might have been there, telling their stories as well. These stories are fun and interesting to read and they make great dramas. Read and enjoy them, or create dramas from them. You will receive a perspective on the Bible that is both thrilling and personally enlightening.

You Are in the Bible

Metaphysical Bible Interpretation for Your Life

By: Carole M. Lunde

How can it be that you are in the Bible? It is a mirror in which you can see yourself. The Apostle Paul said we would see dimly at first and then face to face. When you spiritually interpret what you read in the Bible, you will more clearly understand your amazing relationship to God. The Bible is an enjoyable reference book for your life, once you have some tools with which to bring to light its true meaning. It is also a sacred text written by inspired teachers who expressed it in the context of the ancient civilization in which they lived. And yet it is the story of your inner development as well. Metaphysical or Spiritual Interpretation is the clearest, most uplifting and useful way to understand the Bible's message to you.

Deborah, Judge, Prophetess and Seer

The Woman Born to Become God's Military Leader

By: Carole M. Lunde

Judges 4:4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth was judging Israel at that time. She used to sit under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the people of Israel came up to her for judgment. This is the extent of what we know about Deborah before the battle with Sisera. Judges 5 is a poetic rewrite of Judges 4 with the added story of Siseras mother who waits in the window of her palace for her son to come home. The woman waiting in the window is a motif used in many writings to indicate a woman of great power. Here are two powerful women whose stories are so brief as written, but beg for a larger look at their lives. Biblical fiction is a wonderful way to flesh out their stories leading up to Judges 4 and 5. How did Deborah grow up? How did Barak grow up? Deborah was in Ephraim and Barak in Kadesh-Napthali, some sixty miles apart. How did they know each other? How did Deborah learn of scriptures and battle plans in a society where neither of these areas were open to women?

Finding Home in the Fourth Dimension

By: Carole M. Lunde

This book is about finding home in a world that obscures the spiritual nature of it, the fourth dimension. Beckys journey is my journey. The character herself is fictional, but her life experiences, thoughts, and feelings are mine. The other characters are from my life, but are given other parts to play in the story. The setting begins in 1986. Becky and her friends make their way through careers, growing beyond challenges of their past that limit them, into spirituality, freedom, and beyond. These characters brought up hidden emotions I didnt know were still there. As I created the characters, they taught me to look again at my responses to life with courage, love, and gentle humor. I thank Becky and her friends for giving me gifts I could not have found within myself without them. I gave them life, though only on paper, and they returned the favor by imprinting themselves on my heart. In Philippians 3:13, it says, Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God . . . Spirituality is our nature; the fourth dimension is our home.

Daniel and the Queen of Babylon

Daniel and the Queen of Babylon

By: Carole M. Lunde

The Book of Daniel in the Hebrew Bible gives no information about Daniel’s early life or information about the queen of Babylon. The book is mostly about King Nebuchadnezzar’s increasing dementia, and little about Daniel himself. The queen is mentioned only as one who summoned Daniel to interpret the writing on the wall at Belshazzar’s feast. She was not given a name. Upon extensive research into the ancient empires of Babylonia, Assyria, Persia, China, and Egypt, the story comes forth. She was Queen Nitocris, designer and architect of the rebuilding of the City of Babylon. She was named after Queen Nitocris of Ancient Egypt, who lived 2000 years before her. Daniel was brought into her city, Babylon, as a slave. He became her spiritual teacher and she was his friend. After Daniel’s death in Persia, she carries his teachings and friendship in her heart. His teachings and her quest for purpose and love take her on adventures to China, the fabled Silk Road, India, and Egypt. The author, Carole Lunde, traveled to the middle east and Egypt. Her research for this mysterious queen, who was barely mentioned in the Hebrew Testament, caused her to investigate the ancient histories of Babylonia, Persia, and China around 550 BCE to find this queen and write her story. The author has published nine books on spirituality and Bible fiction, illuminating the lives of other nameless women in the Hebrew Testament.

Jezebel

Queen of Darkness, Queen of Light

Jezebel

Queen of Darkness, Queen of Light

By: Carole M. Lunde

Jezebel was the daughter of King Ethbaal of the city states of Sidon and Tyre. They were Phoenicians, a sea faring people. Baal was their god. Astarte was their goddess. Because she was a Phoenician, Princess Jezebel was educated, well-traveled, talented, and quick witted. Researchers wonder why she is so reviled in the Hebrew Testament. Was it because she was a woman of royal power, having vast legal and business knowledge? Other objections were her devotion to Baal and Astarte. All foreign wives of kings were allowed to bring their religion with them. But she did not bring her gods to Israel. King Omri and his son Ahab were Baal worshippers before she arrived. The Bible authors avoided giving her the title of Queen, even though she was the queen, being married to King Ahab. And there is no evidence she was ever unfaithful to King Ahab.

Lot’s Daughters, Ancestors of King David

Lot’s Daughters, Ancestors of King David

By: Carole Lunde

The story of Lot and his daughters in the Hebrew Testament was written to tell the people of that time what God would do to them if they sinned. After the story of what happened in the cave after Sodom was destroyed, Lot’s story abruptly ends and a New Testament Epistle calls him “a righteous man.” Needless to say this story is not told in Sunday School lessons! But there is a greater story to tell about the lives of these people and how they played out against the background of famine, abductions, earthquakes, distruction, and family dynamics. Lot and his daughters were in the lineage of Jesus. Ruth was a Moabite who married Boaz. Their son was Obed, whose son was Jesse, whose son was King David, and the generations continued to the birth of Jesus We cannot ignore this exciting and powerful lineage any longer!
