Synopsis of the book Comes back Author Marcos D Rivas The work begins by narrating the pains of Jesus of Nazareth, in the garden of Gethsemane. In this hour of hard temptations, agonies, sufferings, Jesus invites us to accompany him, on a path that is not at all easy. In turn, from this Gethsemane, we go directly towards the churches of the book of Revelation, where Jesus gives each one a vibrant, profound, shocking message. Which will be divided into two parts. The first part of the book, which is from chapter I to VI, the pains, sins, crimes, anguish, appeared in the vision of Jesus, in that garden, become palpable in our concrete reality. This first part narrates the Dantesque effects of the continuous losses that plague the spirituality, faith, and hope of Christians in particular, as well as the Church in general. This continuous loss cannot be understood without the example of men and women whose history is also present in the Holy Scriptures. This is why Jesus' critical view of future and present pains also has ramifications in the past, where faith is tested like gold in the crucible. In this way, the pains of Gethsemane are the pains recorded in the history of pain, where the human being has nailed Christ to every possible cross. For this reason, the Passion is a vital part of these messages to the churches, to hearts, to individuals. Losses are the guiding thread of this series of chapters, when human beings become fragmented, leaving parts of their life of faith, destroyed at the corner of the roads, where they placed all their trust. On the other hand, the second part, from chapter VII to chapter XII, narrates Jesus' relentless search to try to rebuild millions of hearts of stone, whose hardness has broken them, in a great desert plain. In each chapter, Jesus calls us insistently, urgently, as he does best. If in the first part, pain, loss, anguish, were the main thread, here, the search, the call, the encounter with an apocalyptic Jesus, envelops us. Consequently, each aspect, each name, how Jesus presents himself, also leads us to trace in biblical history, the return of the brave to God, those who did not remain depressed, those who did not settle on the ground. As an example, as a feat, as a daring. If loss is the iconography of pain, the return is the art of love. A love, that is given, is delivered, on the cross. The journey begins in Gethsemane, to each church of the Apocalypse, but it does not end there, because if the return to God is wonderful, even more, it is knowing how Jesus achieved it. To strengthen the faith of hearts, Jesus, will show each one of us, the magnitude of his love. This book invites the reader to return, to get up, to stand up in the midst of adversity. And to follow Jesus. Let us know how Jesus resurrects us.
