Do you ever wonder what it would be like to meet Jesus face to face? What we often forget is 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.
