When I began this book, I did so with great trepidation. As far as I knew, and as far as I know, writing Jesus’s story in the first person was something I’d never seen done. And it’s pretty obvious why. It feels presumptuous. When I told people what I was intending to do, everyone gasped. Some thought I was in fact presumptuous. Others thought I was bats-in-the-belfry-out-of-my-mind crazy. As folks began to read the story, though, most understood very quickly that the last thing I wanted to do was to be presumptuous. Crazy is another matter, and I’ll leave you to decide that for yourself. Hopefully writing from Jesus’s point of view offers a new and fresh perspective.

The Scriptures are fairly cut and dry, lacking emotion in most parts. My goal for this book was to show Jesus as a living, breathing, suffering man in His final hours. The fact that he suffered voluntarily makes the story all the more remarkable. I hope in writing this book, it gives each reader a close-up picture of the Love God has for each and every human being He ever created—even you, even me. If you ever doubt that love, remember Jesus had each and every one of us in mind when He refused to turn away from the suffering He endured. None of us deserve that love. All anyone can do in response is try to live life in His service.

What if you could walk alongside Him?
‘His Crime Was Love’ is an intimate, first-person journey through the final thirty-six hours of Jesus’s life. Beginning in the quiet hours before the Last Supper and ending at the moment of His final breath, this story is told through His eyes.
Witness His raw humanity. He was not shielded from pain, nor was He immune to the sting of humiliation. He was tempted, He was weary, and He was rejected—yet His response to every lash and every scornful word was a relentless, radical compassion.
While some moments within these pages imagine encounters beyond the recorded Scripture, they serve to illustrate a profound truth: His love for the world was so great that it was deemed a crime. My hope is that as you walk with Jesus through these final hours, you will realize that the love He poured out for others is the same love He has for you today.
Walk with Him. See through His eyes. Discover how He faced death—and in doing so, teaches us how to live.”

I hope this will bless your Holy week devotions this year. I will be offering the book free from Apr. 1-5, both in ebook form through

Amazon

and on this website as an audio book.
