Superbook

Superbook

**Superbook** is the device that takes Chris, Joy, and Gizmo through a mysterious portal to the past, travelling back in the Old and New Testament era during biblical times.

## Abilities

**Time Swirl**: Superbook has the ability to speed up the time to skip.

**Time Swirl 2.0**: Superbook has the ability to show the story and animations of biblical figures during time swirl but the biblical character's character are completely cyan.

**Force Field**: Superbook has the ability to use forcefield if he wants and this will prevent kids from interacting someone and their past selves and forcefield can prevent someone including their past selves hear the kids voice inside of forcefield and nobody can see the trios inside the forcefield as well.

**Dual Vortex**: Superbook has the ability to separate the children, such as when Joy Pepper traveled to the Sea of Galilee alone.

**Memory Erasure**: Superbook has the ability to erase one's memories after sending them back to the present timeline or Chris' Timeline (e.g. Phoebe can't remember when she was brought back to the present timeline).

**Clothing Changer**: Superbook has the ability to change one's clothing, like with Phoebe who was the first person that was done with this as her clothes were changed to robes within the vortex, since Superbook will never allow the kids to travel to the past with their futuristic clothes, such as the uniform from Valleyview Space Camp.

**Item Erasure**: Superbook has the ability to erase and restore the items seeing that having items, like backpacks, aren't allowed to travel in the past, hence, Superbook decided to temporarily erase those items, such as plate of cookies/box of pizza.

It makes Chris wonder why they don't go to church as a family. Should the gift of Superbook and the stories it represents only be a part of the past on their adventures? Should it not be a part of the present too? Meanwhile, Superbook takes them back to the time when some people were too blind to see Jesus as the Messiah, through exploring three times when Jesus healed the blind.
Aaron

* Old
* Young

**Aaron** was Moses’ brother. When God called Moses to lead the Hebrew people out of slavery in Egypt, Aaron became his "official spokesman." Aaron ended up becoming the first high priest of the Israelites, but the beginnings of his ministry were questionable. He succumbed to the demands of the Israelites to worship a golden calf.

## Bible InfoScan

Aaron was Moses’ brother. He was married to Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab (Exodus 6:23). When God called Moses to lead the Hebrew people out of slavery in Egypt, Moses protested that he was not a good public speaker. God then chose Aaron, who was very well-spoken, to be Moses’ official spokesman. At Moses’ instruction, Aaron also performed miracles as signs (for example, Aaron’s staff turned into a serpent and swallowed the staffs of the Egyptian magicians in (Exodus 7:8-20).

During the wanderings in the wilderness, Aaron’s staff was the only one that produced buds, blossoms, and almonds. This was an indication that God was choosing Aaron and his descendants as priests (Numbers 17:1-10).

Aaron became a leader alongside his brother, Moses. He helped Moses keep order and give judgments during the years in the wilderness. When the priesthood was instituted, Aaron became the first high priest of Israel (Exodus 28-29). He became the spiritual leader of the nation, but he committed a serious sin when he yielded to the pressure of the people and built the golden calf for them to worship. This was happening while Moses was at the top of the mountain praying and receiving the Ten Commandments. Moses prayed to God on Aaron’s behalf, and God spared his life.

Aaron handed over his priestly garments to his son Eleazar on Mount Hor and then died. After his death, the community mourned for 30 days (Numbers 20:22-29). Like Moses, Aaron did not enter the Promised Land.

## Life Lessons

* Be willing to be part of a team.
* Use your special abilities and skills for God.
* Stand up for what is right and don’t yield to public pressure.
* Take responsibility for your actions.
Esau

Esau

**Esau** received his name, which means "hairy", when he was born because he was very red and covered with thick hair like a fur coat. Esau was born first with his twin brother, Jacob, grasping his heel. He grew up loving the outdoors, and he became a skillful hunter. Esau "sold" his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of stew. Esau and Jacob were separated for many years, but Esau forgave him, and they were reconciled.

## Bible InfoScan

Esau received his name, which means "hairy", when he was born because he was very red and covered with thick hair like a fur coat (Genesis 25:25). His other name was Edom, which means "red" (Genesis 36:1). Esau was born first, with his twin brother, Jacob, grasping his heel. He grew up loving the outdoors (Genesis 25:27), and he became a skillful hunter. His father Isaac loved him in particular because of the wild game he brought home (Genesis 25:28) while Rebekah’s favorite son was Jacob.

One day, when he came home exhausted and hungry from a hunt, Esau "sold" his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of stew (Genesis 25:30-34). His birthright did not have the meaning to him that it had for Jacob. Esau lived for the moment. He also disregarded the family faith by marrying two Hittite women, which made life miserable for Isaac and Rebekah (Genesis 26:34-35).

After Jacob tricked him out of Isaac's blessing, Esau was so angry that he hated Jacob and threatened to kill him when their father died. After Esau learned that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away so he could find a wife, Esau married Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, Isaac’s half brother.

Esau and Jacob were separated for many years, but when Jacob returned on his quest for forgiveness, Esau forgave him, and they reconciled (Genesis 32, Genesis 33). However, they went their separate ways and never saw one another again after they buried their father Isaac.

## Life Lessons

* We are responsible for our actions.
* Actions have consequences.
* God allows certain events in our lives to achieve his overall plan.
* It is possible to forgive someone who has wronged you.

Moses doubts himself, but God encourages him. The kids continue to journey with him through the plagues, the Exodus out of Egypt, and the parting of the Red Sea. It amazes Chris how God could use a simple shepherd to save the Israelites. When the kids return home, they agree that this was, by far, their best adventure.
Gizmo

Gizmo

**Gizmo** is a main character in Superbook, alongside his owner Chris Quantum and Chris' best friend Joy Pepper. He was created by Chris' dad, Professor Quantum, to protect the kids -- but they end up protecting him.

The Wise Men

The Wise Men

**The Wise Men** are referred to as men from the East (possibly Persia or Arabia) who were led by a star to Palestine to worship the baby born to be king of the Jews (Matthew 2:1-12).

## Bible InfoScan

The Wise Men are referred to as men from the East (possibly Persia or Arabia) who were led by a star to Palestine to worship the baby born to be king of the Jews (Matthew 2:1-12). The Greek word for "wise men" is "magoi", which means astrologers - people who studied the stars. In the fifth century writings of Herodotus, the Greek historian, the Magi are identified as a caste of Medes who had a priestly function in the Persian Empire. God used their observation of the stars as a way of making the birth of Jesus known. The gifts of the Wise Men and their rejoicing and worship stand in direct contrast to the state and intentions of Herod and his Jewish advisers in Jerusalem.

We don’t know whether or not the wise men were the smartest men who ever lived, but we do know that they played the part God wanted them to play in the birth of Jesus.

## Life Lessons

* Let God guide you.
* Worship Jesus, the King of Kings.

Thaddaeus/Judas (Son of James)

* Judas
* Thaddaeus

**Judas**, also known as **Thaddaeus** or **Lebbaeus** and as **Judas son of James**, was one of Jesus' twelve apostles. He was one of Jesus’ twelve disciples that were with Him when He delivered the Sermon on the Mount. Judas, along with the other disciples, sat on the mountainside with Jesus as He preached the Sermon on the Mount. That day, the disciples learned what it truly meant to follow Jesus and be His disciple. Judas also witnessed how Jesus spoke a Word to heal the Roman centurion’s servant while commending him for his great faith. Judas, son of James, is not to be confused with Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

## Bible InfoScan

Judas, son of James, was one of Jesus’ twelve disciples that were with Him when He delivered the Sermon on the Mount. Judas, along with the other disciples, sat on the mountainside with Jesus as He preached the Sermon on the Mount.

Judas also witnessed how Jesus spoke a Word to heal the Roman centurion’s servant while commending him for his great faith (Matthew 8:5-13). Judas, son of James, is not to be confused with Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus (Luke 6:16).

He was also referred to as Lebbeus or Thaddaeus (Matthew 10:3); (Mark 3:18). His only recorded words were a question that he asked Jesus in (John 14:22): “Judas (not Judas Iscariot, but the other disciple with that name) said to him, "Lord, why are you going to reveal yourself only to us and not to the world at large?" Judas, son of James, is listed as one of those present in the upstairs room as Jesus’ followers waited for God’s promised gift of His Spirit (Acts 1:13).

## Life Lessons

* We are called to serve and follow Jesus.
* Humbly serve Jesus and don't call attention to yourself.
* Jesus knows our name even when we may feel insignificant.

Jesse

Jesse

**Jesse** was the father of eight sons; his youngest was named David. Life was fairly normal for him until the prophet Samuel came to visit his house.

## Bible InfoScan

Jesse was the father of eight sons; the youngest one was David. One day, the prophet Samuel, led by God's Spirit, came to Jesse's home in order to anoint the next king of Israel. After seeing seven of Jesse's sons, Samuel knew that none of them were to be the next king, so he asked Jesse if he had another son. Jesse sent for his youngest son, David, who had been tending to the flocks of sheep. Samuel then anointed David as Israel's next king (1 Samuel 16).

Some time later, Jesse sent David to play the harp for King Saul to help soothe Saul from being tormented by evil spirits. After this came the time when Jesse sent David with food to give to David's brothers, who were in King Saul's army. This, of course, led to David's encounter with the giant from Gath, Goliath.

As King Saul grew paranoid of David's success and wanted to kill him, David went to Mizpah in Moab to ask permission from the king to allow Jesse and his mother to stay under their protection of that king.

## Life Lessons

After returning from their Biblical adventure, Chris accepts that while he may not actually able to attend Rampaging-Robots competition in person, he can still give his team the game winning plan and strategy, which they use to win the championship trophy.
Andrew

Andrew

**Andrew** was Simon Peter's brother and was one of Jesus' twelve apostles. It was evening, Andrew asked Jesus to send away the tired and hungry crowd to find a place to stay and eat. Instead, Jesus instructed His disciples to sit the people down in the grass. Andrew had noticed a young boy who had brought a basket of food containing five loaves of barley bread and two small fish. He asked the boy to bring the food to Jesus even though he didn't think it would do much good! Philip was must have been amazed as he gave the food to the crowd after Jesus had miraculously multiplied it. Imagine his thoughts as he and the other disciples gathered twelve baskets of leftovers after over 5000 people had eaten all they wanted!

## Bible InfoScan

Andrew was Simon Peter’s brother. They were professional fisherman and lived in Galilee. Andrew was originally a disciple of John the Baptist. As they were hanging out one day, Jesus walked by. John looked at Jesus and declared, “Look! There is the Lamb of God!” When John’s two disciples heard this, they followed Jesus. They followed Jesus to where He was staying and spent the rest of the day with Him. Andrew then went to find his brother, Simon. He told him, “We have found the Messiah”. Then Andrew brought Simon to meet Jesus (John 1:35).

Andrew and his brother became two of Jesus’ first disciples. “One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” And they left their nets at once and followed him. (Matthew 4:18). Later in Jesus' ministry, Andrew, along with Peter, James and John met with Jesus privately on the Mount of Olives and asked Jesus to explain His prediction of the Temple being destroyed. (Mark 13:3)

In Galilee, Jesus had just finished testing Philip about how they could feed the huge crowd that followed Jesus. “Then Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up. “There’s a young boy here with five barley loaves and two fish. But what good is that with this huge crowd?” (John 6:8). Andrew brought the young boy to Jesus. But, like Philip, he only looked with his physical eyes. He did not see by faith that Jesus could perform another miracle, like the water to wine, to feed the crowd.

In another instance, Andrew and Philip brought some Greek men to Jesus that wanted to meet Him at the time of the Passover celebration. (John 12:22). In Acts 1:12-15, we find Andrew is present with the other disciples and believers in the upstairs room in Jerusalem. Here they prayed and waited for the gift of the Holy Spirit that God had promised. According to popular church tradition, it is believed that Andrew was crucified in Greece on an x-shaped cross.

## Life Lessons

* Share Jesus with your family.
* Give Jesus priority over everything else.
* We have Jesus' authority to do mighty things.
Magery

However it does not give any offensive capability, for that you will need Wrestling skill. The Wrestling skill allows you to equip spellbooks.

Those who study the magical arts of Britannia may not be adept with a sword and shield, but few can surpass the power of Magery. Magery is used to cast various spells, such as Harm (which damages an opponents health), Cure (which removes the effect of Poison), and Bless (which provides increases to stats).

To begin using Magery, you must have a Spellbook equipped with spells added to it and there must be the appropriate reagents in your inventory. (You cannot cast harmful magery spells without having the Spellbooks in your hand.)

You can also use spell scrolls. The proper reagents and skill are necessary to prepare the scroll initially with the Inscription skill, so casting from a scroll requires no reagents and can be done with a lower skill level.

You can purchase a bag of reagents at a local mage. that contains 100 of all reagents found in Britannia.

Ideally the mage should avoid his/her opponents getting close enough to melee. Anatomy, when added to evaluate intelligence, gives a mage defensive wrestling bonus.

(Anatomy + Evaluate Intelligence + 20) / 2 = defensive wrestling bonus (capped at 120.0)

## Spells

### Training

Training Magery involves casting spells that, for your level, you're able to cast but not guaranteed to succeed on. The following represents a general guide, highlighting casting that will net gains, but not necessarily the optimal set of gains.

* 0-10: 1st & 2nd Circle
* 10-24.1: 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Circle
* 24.1-40.1: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th
* 40.1-50.1: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & 5th Circle
* 50.1-60.1: 3rd, 4th, 5th, & 6th Circle
* 60.1-70.1: 4th, 5th, & 6th Circle
* 70.1-80.1: 5th, 6th, & 7th Circle
* 80.1-90.1: 6th, 7th, & 8th Circle
* 90.1-GM: 7th & 8th Circle

To train just Magery without Resist, pick spells that are buff type spells and cast them on yourself. To train Resist alongside, choose spells that cause damage and cast them on yourself, healing in between casts. It's recommended to train Magery/Resist while your Evaluating Intelligence is low to minimize damage to yourself.

Chris and Joy witness Jesus' encounter with a Roman Centurion and learn that the Kingdom of God is open to everyone who accepts the Lord and tries to follow the narrow path of Christ's footsteps.

When their over-eager and over-confident attempts to put misguided interpretations of the Beatitudes into action lead to comic chaos, Superbook takes them back to hear the Sermon again -- and to walk beside the disciples as even they struggle to understand and live what Jesus teaches. Chris and Joy learn a key lesson when they witness Jesus' encounter with a Roman Centurion who humbly asks Him to save a servant paralyzed with illness: the Kingdom of God is there for everyone who opens his heart to the Lord and tries to follow the narrow path of righteousness by walking in Christ's footsteps every moment of his life. Back home, Chris displays his new understanding at a bible study group when he says that the most important part of the Sermon on the Mount is “Blessed are the poor in spirit” -- because the first step in leading a Christian life is admitting you can't do it without God's help.
James

James

**James** was John's brother and was one of Jesus' twelve apostles. James most likely would have been with the other disciples in Jerusalem when they questioned Peter about entering Cornelius' home. James was the son of Zebedee, and older brother to John. Jesus came to James and John and told them to follow Him and be fishers of people! James and his brother John were one of Jesus' twelve apostles. They were nicknamed the "Sons of Thunder" by Jesus. James, John, and Peter were called Jesus' inner circle and were the closest to Jesus of all the apostles. James was the first apostle to die as a martyr when he was killed by King Herod Agrippa in A.D. 44.

## Bible InfoScan

James, his younger brother John and their father Zebedee, were professional fisherman. They also were partners in the fishing business with Simon Peter and his brother Andrew. Jesus called James, John, Simon Peter, and Andrew to follow Him and become fishers of people. The brothers immediately left their boats to follow Jesus (Matthew 4:18-22). The men became four of Jesus' twelve apostles. James and his brother John were bold and passionate followers. They asked Jesus if they could sit next to Him on His heavenly throne in places of honor (Mark 10:37-38).

James and John also asked Jesus if they should call down fire from heaven to burn up a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus (Luke 9:51-56). Jesus nicknamed James and John, "Sons of Thunder" (Matthew 10:2). James, John, and Simon Peter were Jesus' closest friends. They were known as Jesus' inner circle. These three men were invited by Jesus to witness important events that the other apostles were not privileged to be included; The Transfiguration (Mark 9:2), raising of Jairus' daughter (Mark 5:37, Luke 8:51), and Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane (Mark 14:33, Matthew 26:37). Following Jesus' resurrection, James returned to Jerusalem with the other apostles to wait for the baptism with the Holy Spirit. This baptism was a gift from God that empowered them to be witnesses of Jesus to all the world (Acts 1:4-14). James was the first apostle to die as a martyr when he was killed by King Herod Agrippa in A.D. 44 (Acts 12:1-2).

**Daniel**, as a Jewish captive in the land of Babylon, continued to obey God and hold on to his convictions from God’s word. Daniel’s bold actions showed his dedication and commitment, doing what was right regardless of the consequences.

## Bible InfoScan

When Jerusalem was conquered by King Nebuchanezzar, a young boy named Daniel from one of Judah’s noble families was taken captive to Babylon, about 500 miles away. Although he was given the Babylonian name Belteshazzar (which was derived from one of the Babylonian gods), Daniel remained faithful to the living God. He was not only intelligent and wise; he was also courageous. He obeyed God and held on to his convictions from God’s Word. He stood up for what he believed was right, and God chose him to record not only the events of the captivity but also events of the future.

Daniel and his friends chose not to eat the king’s food. Instead they chose a simpler, healthier menu, in keeping with their faith (Daniel 1). Daniel’s bold actions showed his dedication and commitment, doing what was right regardless of the consequences. He did not give in to pressure to conform - pressures from society, peers, or even the government.

He trusted and obeyed God, and his clear purpose in life was to glorify God. He persevered and served for 70 years in a foreign land that was hostile to his religion. In all that time, he did not compromise his faith in God. He was truthful, prayerful, and devoted to God. He worked diligently and efficiently and rose to a position of influence. Daniel also served as a prophet to the exiles from 605 to 536 BC, interpreted King Nebuchadnezzar’s dreams (Daniel 2-4), explained the writing on the wall and God’s judgment to King Belshazzar (Daniel 5), and received visions and messages about the future by God (Daniel 7-12).

## Life Lessons

* Allow God to use you and your gifts for His glory.
* Be committed, diligent, and responsible.
* Trust God with your life.
* Be courageous and stand up for what you believe.
Bartholomew/Nathanael

* Nathanael
* Bartholomew

**Nathanael**, also known as **Bartholomew**, was a friend of Philip and was one of Jesus' twelve apostles. Nathanael was sitting under a fig tree when Philip ran up to him declaring he had seen Jesus of Nazareth. Nathanael was skeptical at first but upon meeting Jesus face to face, he declared that He was the Son of God! Jesus called Nathanael a man of integrity that could be trusted. He soon became one of Jesus' twelve apostles.

## Bible InfoScan

Nathanael, also known as Bartholomew, was a friend of Philip. Nathanael's name in Hebrew means “Gift of God”. Nathanael was from Cana of Galilee, (John 21:2). Jesus had just called Philip to follow Him. Philip immediately went to find Nathanael to tell Him about Jesus. Isn't that what being a fisher of men is all about? He found Nathanael sitting under a fig tree and said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote — Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” Nathanael wasn’t sure about all of this. He asked, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip told him to come see for himself.

As they approached, Jesus said, “Now here is a genuine son of Israel—a man of complete integrity.” We can gain from this that Nathanael was an upstanding man. If Jesus calls you a complete man of integrity; you are someone that can be counted on and trusted! Nathanael was shocked at Jesus’ greeting. He said, “How do you know about me?” Jesus told him that He saw him sitting under the fig tree before Philip talked to him. Nathanael then exclaimed, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God—the King of Israel!” Then Jesus asked him, “Do you believe this just because I told you I had seen you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this. Then he said, “I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of Man, the one who is the stairway between heaven and earth.” (John 1:43-51)

What an amazing beginning to a life changing journey with Jesus. How quickly being in the presence of Jesus turned Nathanael’s doubt into a revelation of Jesus as the Son of God and King of Israel!

The name of Nathanael is not used in the first three Gospel books; Matthew, Mark and Luke—only in the book of John. It is a common belief that Nathanael and Bartholomew are the same person. John mentions Nathanael in his writings, but never the name of Bartholomew. Matthew, Mark, and Luke never use the name Nathanael. (Matthew 10:3, Mark 3:18, Luke 8:14)

Nathanael or Bartholomew was one of the original twelve apostles chosen by Jesus (Luke 6:12-16). He was also among the seven men who witnessed the appearance of Jesus at the Sea of Tiberias after His resurrection (John 21:2). He is listed as being in the upstairs room in Jerusalem as Jesus' followers waited for the promised gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:12-13). Tradition has it that Bartholomew was a minister of the gospel in Persia and India and that he died as a martyr.

## Life Lessons

* Jesus chooses us and gives us authority.
* Jesus is the Son of God.
* Be a trustworthy and full of integrity.

When Joy is swamped by over-scheduled responsibilities she can't figure out how to deal with, SUPERBOOK takes the kids back to Babylon in the 6th Century BC to learn how to solve her problem. They meet the young Daniel, working in the palace as one of King Nebuchadnezzar's “wise men”: a diverse collection of astrologers, soothsayers, scribes, and learned men. Frightened by a recurring nightmare, the king orders his wise men to tell him his dream and reveal its meaning -- or forfeit their lives. His other wise men insist that no one can know another's dream, but Daniel intercedes to stop the executions by asking for time to discover the secret. With execution as the price of failure, the kids urge Daniel to flee; instead, Daniel and three compatriots pray for God's help. God reveals the dream to Daniel, and he explains its meaning to the king: the dream foretells the fall of Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom, followed by a succession of other kingdoms until transient earthly realms are replaced by God's enduring church. As Daniel is rewarded by the grateful king, the kids are returned to the modern world. Joy still doesn't know the solution to her problem -- but now she knows how to find it. Chris joins her in praying for God's help.
