The stories in this book are told by people who met Jesus in the Gospels. The material is based on stories in the Bible. They have been developed through the author's application of imaginative prayer, as well as the meditation techniques called Stillness, developed by Ed Wills. The stories do not pretend to be Scripture, nor are they to be used as replacement of Scripture. Ed Wills translated all passages from their original text; some of those translations were paraphrased by the author.
As historical fiction, the book intends to educate. The stories accurately reflect that era�s culture and historical context.
The purpose of this book is to imagine what a First Century person who met Jesus might have thought and felt, and the impact that encounter may have produced.
