Surprised by Grace: Stories of Jesus the LifeMender

Zaccheus the rich man...Bartimaeus the blind man... a nameless woman at a well...a dead friend named Lazarus...a demon possessed man in a graveyard... a little boy with a lunch to share...a woman caught in adultery... They were ordinary people who met an extraordinary Savior. Jesus surprised them with grace and changed their lives forever. Blending the original narratives from Scripture, great research and "sanctified imagination", Tim Roehl brings these stories of people who met Jesus alive as if you were there. As you read their stories, you'll find your own story as well. You'll find that the same Jesus who loved, healed, forgave and set hearts free then still does it now. You'll find yourself saying, "That's the Jesus I want to know!" Originally released in 2000, this is the second edition of "Surprised by Grace".
