About the Book
How would you feel if you found out that you had just missed meeting Jesus?
What about the Bethlehem innkeeper whose wife attended the newborn in their stable? Or the mother of the little boy whose lunch Jesus used to feed five thousand people?
Or the former husband of the woman caught in adultery? Fifteen similar encounters are described. Following each story is a “Think about It!” section for personal meditation. There is also “A Backward Look” for further study.
