Product Description
Was the curse Joshua pronounced on the reconstruction of Jericho ever revoked? Who received the prophet Elijah's mantle after John the Baptiser died? The answers to these questions are tucked away in the folds of familiar episodes in the life of Jesus. They peek out at us, trying to hook our attention, but so often we overlook them as tiny, irrelevant details. This book is the first in this series to move beyond Jesus' own lifetime and examine the way He set up events so that His disciples could continue His work of healing history, mending society and repairing the world.

The four gospels in the Bible, written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, contain stories about Jesus and his life on Earth. In this devotional book, these stories are retold in biblical fiction while remaining faithful to the original text. From the perspective of a tax collector called Zacchaeus, learn about Jesus bringing healing to Zacchaeus and to the ancient curse on Jericho from the Old Testament. From the perspective of Simon the Tanner, learn about the valued conversion of the Gentiles to followers of Jesus through the stories of Cornelius, the first Gentile convert, and Hazael, the Aramean general.
