Opis

This is a LARGE PRINT EDITION of Manna Stories: Journeys Toward the Heart of Jesus Christ. It is set in 18-point Calibri type. This edition has a glossary and a collection of scriptures that these stories are based on, which are set in 16-point Calibri type. We meet people in the New Testament who come and go in the Gospels, but we don't know where they come from or where they go afterward. These are people like the man with a son who has seizure-like symptoms; the woman caught in the act of adultery; the blind man outside of Jericho; the man paralyzed for 38 years; the lawyer who asks, "But who is my neighbor?"; the demon-possessed man who lived among tombs; a woman by a well in Samaria with a scandalous reputation. Did you ever wonder how these people became who they were when they met Jesus? Did you ever wonder what happened to them afterwards? The author of this book has combed these stories and the rest of the Bible for clues to answer those questions. In this book of 12 short stories, he imagines these people's lives before and after their meetings with Jesus, and he tells the stories of these meetings in more detail than we find in the Gospels. The author's hope is to engage the readers imagination, and activate the reader's interest in stories that sometimes become blurred by too-much familiarity. He invites the reader to agree or disagree with his telling of these stories. Above all, he invites the reader to return to the New Testament Gospels with refreshed wonder. B.Z. Eliphaz is a pen-name.
