Spectators of JESUS the CHRIST Jr. Ronald F. Owens

... Is based on the Holy Bible. Representing a new and innovative genre of Bible literature, this scripturally-based yet fictionally-portrayed book is about twenty-six people, written from the perspective of those who were directly or indirectly involved with Jesus the Christ. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were spectators who participated in the miraculous events associated with Jesus' life. Their stories, completed in the first century, are eyewitness accounts of Jesus interacting with, ministering to, and helping people. Since then, millions of people have read, studied, and been inspired by the four gospels that bear their names. More than 1,900 years later, I reverse Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John's storytelling perspective. I envision myself in Bethlehem, Nazareth, Capernaum, Jerusalem, the Garden of Gethsemane, and elsewhere. I put myself in the shoes-or sandals-of twenty-six spectators. I profile Jesus' miraculous and tumultuous life, profound teachings, and astounding miracles through the eyes of these seventeen men and nine women. I detail how Jesus the Christ influenced, interacted with, helped, healed, saved, or delivered every one of them. This book presents God's Word from their unique perspective.
