Five Sacred Crossings presents the Christian worldview's uniqueness through creative fiction. Professor Michael Jernigan, a Christian, is teaching a religions course at community college. A local, barely halted act of religious terrorism throws a teeth on edge relevancy into the class discussions. Jernigan teaches from a rare text he obtained while in Cambodia the Five Crossings. Each Crossing unveils a universal spiritual question, which only Christianity can satisfactorily address because it... is testable presents salvation as a free gift paints a picture of the world that matches reality makes a non compartmentalized life possible has Jesus at the center Non Christians will relate to the storytelling context and will see the overarching truth about the God who transcends time and culture. Christians are helped with their doubts and their desire to attractively present Christianity to our multireligious culture. Superb gift for sharing with nonbelievers.

Couldn't put it down!,

This review is from: Five Sacred Crossings: A Novel Approach to a Reasonable Faith (ConversantLife.com®) (Paperback)
"Five Sacred Crossings" could easily be to apologetics what CS Lewis' "Screwtape Letters" is to spiritual warfare. This book lays out the case for Christianity in the most engaging and entertaining story - a real page turner that will have you on the edge of your seat. The book deals with the exploration of spirituality by a group of college kids - and very accurately depicts their points of view - all within espionage & action. Highly recommend for parents of college kids; it allowed me to hear the conversation my college age daughter is exposed to and will help me to help her respond to them.

This review is from: Five Sacred Crossings: A Novel Approach to a Reasonable Faith (ConversantLife.com®) (Paperback)
The Five Sacred Crossings helped me to understand my own faith, as well as others in the world, in a down-to earth informative way. Set on a college campus, with believable characters who are facing a very real terrorism crises in their community, it's a real page turner. I never saw the ending coming. It's an innovative novel that makes you think about what being a Christian means.

Quick, tell Oprah!,
By Rachel Vitali "Picky Reader" (Irvine, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Five Sacred Crossings: A Novel Approach to a Reasonable Faith (ConversantLife.com®) (Paperback)
Wow! I wasn't expecting this. A friend gave me the Five Sacred Crossings. I hadn't heard a thing about it and was blown away. Craig Hazen's first foray into fiction is a huge winner. Forget the Da Vinci Code with its "make it up as you go" approach to religion. Hazen weaves some of the most insightful ideas in religion and philosophy right into a sizzling page turning story. Whether you are a Christian believer or not, you will be captured by the grace, kindness, and brilliance of the main character, Prof. Michael Jernigan. The characters come alive. I could swear I've met all these people. The only question I had when I finished (in tears I might add) was "when is Hazen's next book coming out?" Quick, somebody tell Oprah!
