Encounters with Jesus

The Rest of Their Stories

By: Doug Greenwold

Narrated by: Jim Park

This book contextually restores twelve of Luke’s most “familiar” passages, e.g., return to Nazareth, Simon, the leper, the paralytic, the calling of Levi, the demoniac, Jairus, the bleeding woman, etc., in an engaging narrative story-telling format. In doing so, paradigm challenging insights (with pastoral applications) reveal themselves from passages we thought we knew and understood. Each chapter challenges the listener with open-ended, probing, rabbinic-type questions to draw out appropriate heart, mind and soul issues for transformational reflection and journaling.

Encounters with Jesus: The Rest of Their Stories restores Jesus’ compelling encounters with people back into their Middle Eastern context. One reviewer deemed the book “rich … thought-provoking … sometimes startling … always refreshing … a whole new way of looking at Jesus.”
