Encounters with Jesus: Seven Gospel Stories Imagined Anna Rapa

A dead man who rose again. A blind man who recovered his sight. A shady tax collector who gave back everything he ever stole. Each of these people met Jesus, and each has a story to tell. If you?ve ever wondered what it must have been like to meet Jesus, take a moment to read how Jesus?s presence and his words deeply affected the woman at the well, the rich young ruler, Martha, Lazarus?s sister, and others. They?ll tell you their stories in their own words, and they just might challenge your idea of who Jesus is and what he?s all about. A blend of biblical dialogue and imagination based on in-depth research, this book will invite you to walk with those who walked with Jesus, to see what they saw about him, and to respond to Jesus just as they did. Through their stories, you?ll have the chance to encounter Jesus too.
