"And the Word became flesh and lived among us..." John1:14 "Then Mary said, "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word." And Gabriel began to rise in the air, accelerating to the speed of light. To Mary, he vanished. She remained kneeling for a moment, looking up, and then fainted." With insight, humor, and imagination, S.O.U.L. Encounters: The Sacrifice, the second book in the series, puts flesh on the bare-bones account on the birth of Christ. Celebrate with the angels of Heaven, laugh as Joseph carries the midwife to the stable, and share in the awe of the citizens of Bethlehem. Later, mourn with Heaven at the death of Jesus but exalt with them at His resurrection A rich, enjoyable, and entertaining story that also invites you to examine your faith and draw closer to our Savior, Jesus Christ.
