Throughout the Gospels, Jesus impacted the lives of many. This thought-provoking collection of stories is told from the perspective of some of those people, helping you to see Jesus as they might have seen him. For example: The mother of the boy who gave his loaves and fish to Jesus, to feed the five thousand, remembers how an ordinary day became quite extraordinary. Simon the Pharisee recalls his embarrassment when Jesus came for dinner and allowed a known and unannounced prostitute to weep at his feet. Herod's jailer marvels as he recounts the remarkable boldness of the one known as the Baptiser, who spoke unfiltered truth, face-to-face with the King.
