Synopsis

Have you felt the dust on your sandaled feet, the sun warming your back in the fields as you work? Have you smelled the sweet fragrance of a breeze through the olive groves and the piquance of the sea's salty air? Have you wandered the Galilean hillsides, or tarried along the Jericho Road? Come, immerse yourself in the Jewish customs and traditions of Jesus' day and behold the eye-opening relevance that unfolds before you. Through personal glimpses into the lives of a rabbi and a shepherd, a bridegroom and a disciple, a mason and an ailing woman, you'll grasp the undeniable significance of God's only Son in a way believers have rarely understood. Suddenly, it will all make sense! You'll appreciate how He lived, what He did, the words He used -- and what He meant, both then and today! And as you begin to fathom the extent of God's love, you'll hear the echoes of His presence in your life. Through historically accurate, fictional stories of people Jesus touched, Echoes of His Presence spans the gap between the history of Jewish tradition and Western thinking, making Christ’s ministry more meaningful than ever to modern believers. By setting the gospel story in its cultural context, this book offers a better understanding of Jesus and inspires a deeper passion for him.
