Seen and Invited: Meeting Jesus on the Dusty Roads - E-book - ePub

Fall in love with Jesus all over again... or maybe for the first time. How do you see Jesus? Are you sure he loves you? Will he come for you? Is he ever disappointed in you? Unsatisfied with her own answers to those questions, one prolific novelist found herself reflecting on Jesus's healing encounters with common people on the Israeli roads. Weaving together her storytelling skills, love of history, and a little theology, she explores the most beloved stories of Jesus's healing and miracles, bringing the characters and settings to life in light of Jesus's deep compassion. With a focus on Jesus's shepherd love and his rapt, life-giving attention, wander down roads of brokenness, fear and doubt, discontentment, isolation, and insignificance, roads where even the most devoted believers become trapped and lost.
Watch Jesus personally intervene and heal damaged souls, inviting each one to join him on the roads of wholeness, trust, fulfillment, community, and purpose. He still sees us today, still intervenes at the most personal levels, and still invites us into new adventures and purposes. The road to a rich life journey at Jesus's side is available to you. If you long to experience Jesus more personally, love him more deeply, and find healing, acceptance, and significance in your own life, walk a few dusty roads and peek in on the Shepherd rabbi at work as he delights in every encounter with his lost lambs.
