Who was Jesus? What was his life like? Both plausible and possible, this moving story of Jesus’ life is told by imagining his interactions with people of the Gospel story and their reactions to their life-changing encounters with him. Narrated by John, the Beloved Disciple, author Peter Snow’s well-researched and entertaining story offers readers a glimpse into the life of the man Jesus. Jesus said, “I saw the love of the Divine splurging all over, flooding, running and tumbling among us, That day, I was given the task of loving as God loves.” “Don’t ever take the force of evil for granted,” Jesus said. “the more we move toward the divine, the more reactive are the forces of evil.” Mary held her dead son and looked up at me. “Why?” I saw in her eyes the aggregate of violence we men visited on each other and upon the women who give us life and sustain us through their love. Mary Magdalene said, “I have seen the Lord…I knew his voice, I have heard it so often in my head and in my heart that I would recognize it anywhere. Oh, John, what does it mean?” Peter shouted, “Jesus, wake up. Bail! We are sinking!” Jesus sat up, looked around at the waves and said: “But I don’t do bailing.” Then he stood, raised his arm and shouted at the waves, “Still! Enough!”
