The Day I Met Jesus: The Revealing Diaries of Five Women from the Gospels Book by Frank Viola and Mary Demuth
Two
thousand years ago, Jesus Christ met face-to-face with people just like
you. Broken, imperfect, sometimes fearful and without hope. "The Day I
Met Jesus" is a beautifully crafted narrative that chronicles the
remarkable encounters of five women in the Gospels who were desperate to
find wholeness, security, and purpose. Like all of us, these women
struggled with the regrets of their pasts, the stresses of their
presents, and the worries of their tomorrows.
Join Frank Viola and
Mary DeMuth on a fascinating journey back in time as they retell the
dramatic accounts of five women who met Jesus. Each narrative is told
from each woman's unique perspective, yet tightly grounded in the Gospel
accounts and faithful to first-century history. Elegantly written and
profoundly stirring, this book blends creative narrative with uncommon
insight, spiritual depth, and practical application.

Jesus" will make your Bible come to life and usher you into a fresh
