The Unknown Disciple

Book Cover & Preview Text
While I laughed and celebrated my walk with Jesus, there came one unseen to us all. She moved timidly, but determinedly through the pressing crowd. Suffering in silence amid our boisterous banter, she pressed forward from the back of the crowd with unwavering faith in the healing power of the touch of the master. I gave her no heed, only mindful of my place among my friends, joyfully following Jesus. She pressed between the throng of followers, seeking but to touch the hem of his garment that she might be made whole. We all bumped and pushed along, often brushing the Savior’s robe or grazing his arm as we walked, never imagining that such power could be had in such a touch. Yet she came with a different heart – broken, aching, yearning for the healing that only he could give. In her eyes was a longing for healing – willing to pay any price – whatever the sacrifice.

Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to walk and talk with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? This book, "The Unknown Disciple," leads you on a a journey to the manger where Jesus lay as a new born babe, and then follows the life of one of the unknown shepherds as he comes to the know the Savior throughout his life.

Wound tightly into the stories are principles of faith, hope, love, and service that lift the reader to an understanding of the Lord's gospel from an intimate personal perspective. As one reads the accounts taken from actual events that occurred in the New Testament, one is enveloped in the Spirit of God as one sees and feels as those who walked among him must have felt as they witnessed the healings and the miracles of Jesus. You will feel what it was like to walk upon the water, eat of the bread he offered to the 5,000 and feel the heartache and tragedy of Gethsemane and Golgotha. More than anything, you will feel the infinite love of the Savior for each of his disciples. You will experience the joy of his glorious resurrection and gain a stronger witness that Jesus is the very Christ, the Son of God, and Savior of the world.
