Description
A novel on the life of Jesus, with Jesus telling his own story–filling in the missing years.
I wrote this novel because I thought it might be nice to speculate on how Jesus might tell his own story based upon the events surrounding his life. Who did he turn out to be?
Immediate questions:
If God were a man, would he be man-like, or endowed with advantage? But wouldn’t those advantages amount to cheating? Would God be a cheater?
But what if He didn’t cheat? Is it possible that Jesus was a man–as the Gospels so clearly tell us?
The missing years between twelve and thirty–was he not a normal young man, filled with the awakenings common to all?
A carpenter who told no tales of carpentry–did he hate his first job? Or maybe he wasn’t very good at it?
Surrounded by brothers and sisters–that’s what the Good Book says. Did they accept their big brother? Or fight for first place?
A cleanser of the Temple. Duty–or anger?
On thirty-three occasions, Jesus of Nazareth called himself the Son of Man. It was his favorite moniker. He was a human being who felt down to his toes that God was his Father. He wanted to show that Father to us all.
So this is not a religious book. I am a bawdy man, I be.
So suspend disbelief. You will carry out what you receive with a child’s heart.
Or, as the Son of Man loved to say: Your faith will make you whole!
A man lived, if he did
He worked in a shop, if there was
A man of destiny, if such exists
Gave his life, if there was life to give
He loved people, if they knew him
Had the touch of healing, if an anointing flowed
Raised the dead, if rumors can be believed
He was tempted, if he got around
Like us, he was part of the gang.
Talk of God, if One can be found.
Women around, and never kissed?
Books written, no suspense.
Story told, empty pews.
Son of man, son of God.
Human life, or just a fraud?

I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both educative
and engaging, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something which too few people are speaking intelligently about.
I am very happy I found this during my search
for something concerning this.
