Many people don't realise (or experience) the depth of meaning in how Jesus died, nor what this means for them. The idea of this story is to be both an emotional appeal and a factual account, with appropriate embellishments, in an engaging, intriguing story about the death and Resurrection of Jesus. Many people don't feel much emotion toward the recorded events. This is an effort to change that. Many people also get caught up on what seem like differences in the Gospels. This is the Gospels (along with part of Acts and other references) consolidated, so that it is clear that there are no contradictions/discrepancies.
Warning: There is violent depiction of death contained in the story.

An Interesting Youth Pastor (And How He Saved Me)
He is the Savior and God for millions of people and yet if He acted the way He did in His scripture today most of us would not mark Him for the messiah He is. Most modern Christians would exclude their savior based on His drinking habits alone. But what if we could see Him for what He truly is? As if He was a pastor at our church not a character in a book we maybe don't take a seriously as its author. Better yet what if He chose to suffer the children to come to Him and signed on as a youth pastor. Jesus Christ! Jesus said that He is the chief shepherd, a word in biblical Greek that has been translated as our modern day pastor. So while it may or may not be mentioned or noted He is the pastor of every church that has Christians in it. Jesus also said that the kingdom of heaven belonged to children. That their faith was to be an example for other older saints. He even went so far as to threatening a watery death for those who cause children to sin. It's clear He took children's ministry seriously. What if He took it literally? Let's take a look at how Jesus would act, speak and live in our lives. Just as if He was working at your church. Working with troubled teens, preaching the gospel He founded centuries ago. See how the messages of peace and love and forgiveness play out with selfies, the internet and high school. As if he were... "An Interesting Youth Pastor" Are there places where we avoid His example? Are there times where we prefer our own way of life and church? Where would our savior surprise us in the religion He founded centuries ago by dying for our sins. Would the processes or church work mesh nicely with our savior? Would our traditions and Christian culture in North America be embraced by His leadership? Most importantly would His youth group know He was Jesus Christ? Son of God and Savior of the world.Complete
The Audacity of Grace: Jesus Atonement for All
This book is a deep dive into the ocean of Christian theology, specifically focusing on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It's not just a rehash of old ideas, though. It takes a fresh look at the age-old question: did Jesus die for everyone, or just a select few? The author starts by laying a solid foundation, explaining the problem of sin and how it separates us from God. Then they introduce the Old Testament sacrificial system, showing how it foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus. But the real meat of the book is its exploration of Jesus' life and work. The author unpacks the mind-blowing concept of the Incarnation - God becoming human - and shows how Jesus' sinless life and sacrificial death on the cross bridged the gap between us and God. And don't worry, it's not all just theological jargon. The author does a great job of explaining complex ideas in a clear and engaging way. They use vivid imagery and relatable examples to help us grasp the profound truths of the Atonement. The book also takes us on a fascinating tour through church history, showing how theologians throughout the ages have wrestled with the scope of the Atonement. It's a reminder that these questions aren't new; Christians have been grappling with them for centuries. But the book doesn't just leave us with head knowledge. It also explores the practical implications of the Atonement for our lives and for the mission of the Church. It challenges us to live in light of the cross, to extend forgiveness, to pursue social justice, and to share the good news of God's love with the world. In short, this book is an invitation to rediscover the heart of the Christian faith, to be awed by the audacity of God's love, and to be transformed by the power of the cross. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of the Atonement and its implications for our lives and our world.Complete
Heaven On Earth
It seems like just yesterday I was saved. Not knowing what to do next or where I should go. Little by little I had to find my way and put together the lessons I was taught from different sources to seemingly lead a holy life. My supreme happiness came from when I found Jesus. Little did I know all I had to do was dwell in his heart and he would provide me with the wisdom I need and show me the things I could only fantasize about. Things like these seemed to me too precious to keep hidden, and that's when I knew I just had to share Who He is to the whole world. Visions, testimonies, miracles and more came knocking at my door leading me into a dose of Heaven on Earth. Blue Roses for My Bride series: Book 1 NOTE I am not a writer, but I do enjoy writing. I learn as I go where writing a book is concerned. So the book has a lot of flaws, typos and words may not be in the correct order. It may be a finished book but there is still lots of work to do on it. It is a draft of my process in writing the book, so please keep in mind that things will be constantly added, taken out or changed until it becomes how the Lord wants it to be. So when you do read it, please let the Lord guide you on discernment and help you to get on the right part with him. Please keep in mind that I am not perfect and I just wanna share the love and goodness of God.

Like The Thunder Roaring
"The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the World, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:9-14) What that first Easter might have been like. The climax of God's plan for humanity, from Palm Sunday to Peter's reinstatement. Main title and chapter titles are from songs that I used to capture the mood of the moment, as it were, and I would really encourage you to listen to them. They are: Main title: "Glory" by The City Harmonic 1. without a crown: "Baby Boy" by For King & Country 2. the taste of eternity is here on our lips: "Taste of Eternity" by Bellarive 3. let me see redemption win: "Worn" by Tenth Avenue North 4. i heard a voice from the other side singing, "hold fast, love lasts.": "Without You" by For King & Country 5. when you know it, once you know it, and you hold it--it's unforgettable: "To The Dreamers" by For King & Country 6. keep my head from going down: "Something To Believe In" by Parachute 7. i could use a fresh beginning, too: "Learning to Breathe" by Switchfoot (cover by @sugarcrystals, who is amazing and you should really check out her work. Both writing wise and cover wise. I literally gave her "thunder storm themed" and she came up with that. Because I am useless at giving hints.)Complete
The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ
"If thou knowest not how to meditate on high and heavenly things, rest on the Passion of Christ, and willingly dwell in his sacred wounds. For, if thou fly devoutly to the wounds and precious stigmas of Jesus, thou shalt feel great comfort in tribulation." This book details the visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, an Augustinian nun, concerning the horrific sufferings our Dear Lord Jesus Christ; revealing to us more information about the Life of Jesus Christ besides what we read of Him in the Bible. This includes: - the Last Supper, - the Agony in the Garden, - the Arrest, - the Scourging, - the Crowning of Thorns, - the Trial by Pontius Pilate, - the Carrying of the Cross, - the Crucifixion, - the Dying on the Cross - the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is available in the public domain. The only reason I have added it here is because it is easier to read. Hope this brings you closer to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.Complete
Grave Clothes
In John 11, there's a story about Lazarus, a guy that we all might be familiar with. From the scriptures, we know that Jesus loved Lazarus. There are many lessons we can get from that passage of scripture and what stuck out the most for me is the phrase, "grave clothes". Lazarus had died for a few days and when he arose, he came out in his grave clothes. The clothes that represented his sickness. The clothes that represented early demise. The clothes that represented stuff that wasn't comfortable. And many times, we come to God with so much baggage and we live our entire Christian lives in our grave clothes. Jesus commanded that Lazarus's grave clothes be loosed. Lazarus came out bound and chained. How many of us are still linked to our past? How many of us are still carrying the weight of sin and guilt that Jesus came to die for? In this book, we'll discover what it means to live in freedom.Complete
