Never the Same: Stories of Those Who Encountered Jesus (invert)

By Steven James

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to meet Jesus face to face? We often forget that for a handful of people in ancient Palestine, meeting Jesus was as real as meeting a friend for lunch This collection of fictional, first-person accounts tells the stories of those who met, knew, and loved Jesus. Listen to Mary reflect on her mysterious young boy as she and Joseph escape with Jesus to Egypt. Eavesdrop on Satan as he tempts Jesus in the desert. Hear what goes through the mind of a teenage guy in a death squad as he watches Jesus pardon a condemned woman. These and many other characters tell us what it was like to meet the strange, serious, joyful, emotional rabbi from Nazareth. Each voice helps us better understand the Jesus they knew and how he changed their lives in profound ways. Every story includes questions for reflection and commentary to help you meet the mystery for yourself.

Inspirational and imaginative

Even though this is aimed at teens, I got so much out of it that I used it in a devotion. I have already purchased another copy to donate to the church library.
