The Rabbi of Nazareth

<p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>He was known as the Rabbi (or Jesus) of Nazareth although he was born in Bethlehem and his ministry had spread out from Capernaum. He was misunderstood in various ways especially by the religious leaders of the time. He pointed out their hypocrisy while they tried to earn the favor of God through legalism. Yet they had very little compassion for outcasts or others suffering. They were enraged when he healed on the Sabbath instead of rejoicing over the healing of someone born blind crippled demon-possessed afflicted by leprosy or other debilitating or terminal illnesses.</span></p><p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>The most extraordinary true story of all time is being told as a novel. Experience of the feelings and emotions implicit in the Bible narrative. Jesus's tears and heartbrokenness at a friend's grave fury about unkindness exuberant laughter about something funny angst in adversity jubilation at a wedding a great catch fishing a great culinary experience at a festive banquet or the greatest gift of all winning the galactic lottery palpable and real being profoundly human.</span></p><p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>He gave up everything of his Heavenly glory except for his love for humankind. Conflict and animosity increased during his ministry until the showdown which had far-reaching consequences. His impact on history cannot easily be overestimated in books art music human spiritual natural sciences theology sociology psychology law ethics and many more subjects. His death and resurrection split all of time from before Him to after Him.</span></p><p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Many similar endeavors have been done with great success and many more would be done because the story never gets old and the wonder of the story never ceases to amaze.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>The purpose was to write a straightforward fun-to-read story. The prayer is that everyone who reads it will find Christ where they are.</span></p>
