A Sign of Contradiction (Conversations With Jesus)

About the Book

This book is a complation of "conversations" mostly between Jesus and other protagonists in the Gospels. These stem from my "what if" approach concerning what actually did these people talk about during their first encounters. During the course of the conversations, a little of my own beliefs that I have developed over the years are presented.

These beliefs are centered in the message that Jesus espoused. There are some "surprises" expressed or subliminally referred to during the course of the encounters. These may or may not have happened in actuality. They just add some thought provoking moments for the reader.

The aim of the book is to make Jesus' story connect with the people of today - in a way that is not encased in the typical scriptural language. The language of time may change but the message of Jesus remains timeless.
