I must confess: I tell stories, and in the telling of stories, I teach. And when I teach so that others benefit from a good understanding of the life that is, it is then that I am most content! That is why 'Snapshots from Jesus' was written. Its' stories speak to life--Life as it often IS, MAY be and COULD be--the life our Lord wants and desires for each of us!!--A life truly worth living! Part I, tells the stories of five very fine people who have touched me deeply with compassion, wisdom and ACCEPTANCE--an acceptance that is critically important to every single one of us. Four of these people are now gone, but the impact of what they have done for and in me still lives on. Deborah, my wife, who has continued to share her life with me for upwards of 45 years has, along with these other people, touched me deeply. They all have given me a unique, but vital glimpse of the person named Jesus, the Christ. At the center of this book (Part II), Jack Exum, Sr's booklet; 'How Do You Know That You Are Accepted, When You Fail and Don't Do Good? provides a 'Snapshot' from Jesus primarily from the perspective of His apostle, Peter. In the telling of Peter's story, Mr. Exum has revolutionized my life: how I look at life in general, how I teach and how I now live. Part III of 'Snapshots' takes the stories of six people from the Gospel of John (The Man of Meaning--Jesus, Nicodemus, the woman at the well of Sychar, the woman who was 'caught', Judas and Peter), and retells the saga of OUR lives in THEIRS! "Snapshots from Jesus" challenges everyone of us to look at Divine Acceptance from a completely DIFFERENT perspective than that which our corrupt and indulgent culture insists that we embrace! It's an 'eye-opener'!
