Overview

A Rooster Once Crowed: A Commentary on the Greatest Story Ever Told

Acknowledgements
“A Rooster Once Crowed helped me understand the Gospel more clearly and love our Savior more dearly. Bryant has shown a new facet to the diamond which is the Gospel and readers will see the beauty of Jesus and His loving sacrifice in a way that will change the lives of new believers and committed Christians.”
- Len Sykes, Reflections Ministries, Atlanta Georgia

“A Rooster Once Crowed is a study which is broad in scope, accessible to seekers and – from my perspective as a Messianic Jewish rabbi – sensitive to the nuances of Yeshua (Jesus). Take your time with this material. You won’t be disappointed.”
- Rabbi Richard Nichol, Needham, Massachusetts

“My friend Bryant Cornett has crafted a compelling way to tell the old old story by integrating a wide variety of scriptures with illustrations and narratives that press for a decision. This story speaks to the mind, the heart and the will reminding us that revelation requires a response.”
– Dr. Ken Boa, author, Atlanta, Georgia

“This book is for building disciples. If you want to be one or are building them, read this book.”
– Jerry Leachman, former chaplain for the Washington Redskins, Washington, DC.

We live in those few moments between the first and the second crow of the rooster—between decision and indecision, between knowing and being known.
But do you even care? Small decisions made today establish our path for all time, and yet we piddle with a piece of this and a taste of that. We diet on wisdom from antiquity and gorge on culture that is next month’s joke.
This story is an opportunity to gorge on Scripture—from Genesis to Revelation—in context. It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ and an opportunity to see for yourself what it actually is, rather than what we mold it to be and to finally choose whether or not to care.
Through small stories and a modern context, this book will help you understand and decide what you believe about the greatest story ever told.

About the Author

I didn't set out to write a book. I wasn't against it, but I got to this point much as most folks get on a ride at Disney World: they weigh the time it will take to get through the line they can see, and by the time they figure out how long the line really is, they've invested too much to step out.That doesn't sound especially spiritual, but for me, this whole process was. And what a great ride it has been. You can find more about it at fullporchpress.com.In 2012 I was preparing for humiliation. I'd committed to teaching a big Sunday school class (Family Ties) at a big church (Peachtree Road United Methodist Church) without any notes. I had no idea what I was going to say until the Thursday before, when I saw, as clearly as you could see and describe a painting, a picture of the Gospel.Since that Sunday in October, I have stood in as many lines as possible to share this story of the Gospel. And while I don't claim to have all the answers, my prayer is that something in this little sacrifice of paper and ink will resonate with you. I sincerely hope that you will see God's truth and the Gospel through this book and invite you to follow our progress at fullporchpress.com for more on this important mission. Because in this church of lions, I'm bringing a turtledove--not even two.Other than this, I'm a lover of Jesus, a husband to one of the greatest God ever made, dad to three of the next greatest, a commercial real-estate broker for hospitals and physicians, a sometime fisherman, and an even lesser golfer.
