Through the Eyes of the Disciple Jesus Loved (Thru The First Disciple's Eyes, #2) / Thru The First Disciple's Eyes (ePub)

Between the covers of this book, I attempt to take you on a journey through the eyes of the disciple that Jesus loved. Not wanting to quote scripture, but to fill in the blanks of scripture. To help you see what John saw. To hear what John heard. To feel what John felt.

You will begin this journey on Golgotha as John had to not only deal with his own grief, but also console the Blessed Mother Mary. Then to the tomb, and on to the upper room to wait and cry and wonder, when will they come for us? Three days pass and the Lord rises from the dead! Even with the new strength from the knowledge of the Resurrection, we hide in the locked room, then He appears to us! The second time he appears, Thomas is there, having not believed that we saw and talked with the Risen Christ. Jesus invites Thomas to put his fingers in the nail holes in His hands and feet and his hand into his side. Then Jesus asks for something to eat!

A month passes and Jesus leads you and the others out to the vicinity of Bethany, which is situated on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives, a half a day's hike! There, He says that He will send an advocate who will always be with us and remind us all He said and did. Then blessed us all and floated into the sky. Then two men in white robes appeared and said "Why do you stand here looking into the sky?" We all feel foolish as this implies a gentle reminder to us that our task and focus should not be solely on the sight of Jesus ascending, but on the mission He had entrusted to us.

The journey continues with the daunting task of preaching the Good News to all and more personally, the task of keeping Mother Mary safe from all harm, even if it takes bringing her to a safe city far away.

Enjoy the images and dialog John may have had with the other Apostles, Mary and those he ministered to. If you like this type of book, please return to the book seller's web page and rate it so that I will be encouraged to write more of what the Holy Spirit tells me to.
