Richard Exley (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 25, 2004

This exquisite and compelling book by best-selling author, Richard Exley, helps readers meet the Savior in a marvelously fresh way. "You will see Jesus as you've never seen Him before through the eyes of those who were there." Readers will see Jesus through the eyes of His mother, Mary. His friend, Simon Peter. His betrayer, Judas. His judge, Pontious Pilate. His executioner, a Roman Centurion. His fellow criminal, a repentant thief. More importantly, readers will see themselves in all of these portraits—meeting Jesus, experiencing His life, witnessing first-hand His crucifixion, His death, His burial, and His glorious resurrection. Luminous, vivid, and tender, this is Exley’s most insightful and inspiring book ever!

This review is from: Witness the Passion: Discover the Hope, Embrace the Power, Experience the Grace (Paperback)

This book is a snapshot of what it might have been like looking through the eyes of those close to the death of Jesus. It looks from the perspective of Mary, Barabbas, and others. It gives a fresh view for everyone!! A great book to give to seeker friends with an amazing presentation of the Gospel throughout.

This review is from: Witness the Passion: Discover the Hope, Embrace the Power, Experience the Grace (Paperback)

Richard Exley has insightfully provided a glimpse into what it may have been like to Witness the Passion from the viewpoints of several key players. This book is a great way for people old and young to reconnect with their faith or simply deepen their interest. As a college student studying the New Testament, I was able to visualize the Passion Narratives and have a deeper understanding after reading this book. I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Exley where he presented me a copy of this book and without any words of persuasion, he helped me find my faith that had waned in prior years. I highly recommend this book to all readers.
