Description

Alex retells these eye–witness stories of Jesus. These people tell their stories as eye witnesses of those who were actually there. They are:

Mary, mother of Jesus, Gaius Maximus, centurion, Joanna’s story of John The Baptist, woman at the well, Simon the Pharisee, Gadarene Demoniac, Jairus, Simon Peter, Rich ruler, Bartimaeus & Zacchaeus, John and Marcellus a Roman officer.

Using Biblical, contemporary and background data, Alex MacDonald skilfully tells the stories of those who were with Jesus at key points in his life.

It unfolds as if you were on the spot looking on. The stories are based on factual evidence of what really happened. This book will capture your imagination causing you to ask “What would my reaction have been if I had been there?” or “Was this really what happened”?

Endorsements

"Having heard the chapter on Joanna I can appreciate the living situation from which the skilful telling of these stories has come. They are a practical and helpful reminder that we often fail to capture people's imagination in telling the exciting story the narrative of the New Testament provides. The writer's motivation is that of an earnest communicator of the gospel who commendably tries every helpful approach to help his readers and listeners to understand the greatest good news there is."

Derek Prime, (1931–2020)Author and former pastor of Charlotte Chapel, Edinburgh

"Narrative preaching is an extremely difficult art to
master, because imagination has to be used as a tool
to convey truth and make the reader want to grasp it,but must never take over itself. Alex MacDonald has
managed here to present us with a series of stories that
superbly manage to retell well known historical facts
in a way that magically take us to the lands and times
in which they actually happened. A book for young
and old, for seasoned preachers and truth-seekers,
and ultimately for anyone who simply likes stories well
told."

Manuel Reaño, Principal, Bible Seminary of Columbia Medellin-Columbia, South America.
