Scripture-Inspired Story Brings Parable of the Good Samaritan to Life! Travel Alongside a Doubting Merchant's Journey of Faith & Witness Power of Love. Recommended by Editors & Writers Edge.
Journey into the heart of ancient Judea through the riveting narrative of The Inn on Jericho Road. This poignant tale immerses readers in the world of a Samaritan merchant, traversing the perilous path along the Jordan River. Unbeknownst to him, his journey mirrors that of Jesus Christ, who is only days ahead, in His final month of ministry.
As the merchant weaves through bustling marketplaces, he hears whispers of Jesus' teachings and miracles, yet skepticism clouds his belief. His perspective undergoes a profound transformation after an encounter with Jesus Himself. Through witnessing Jesus' teachings and experiencing the miracle of loaves and fishes, the merchant grapples with his doubts, wavering between wonder and disbelief.
Jericho Road, fraught with thieves and danger, sets the stage for a decisive moment. The merchant stumbles upon a victim of robbery and, recalling Jesus' teachings of love and mercy, steps out of his realm of doubt to extend kindness to a stranger. This life-saving act of compassion, inspired by Jesus' teachings, takes him to a humble inn on Jericho Road.
In the rustic confines of the inn, the merchant shares his transformative encounter with Jesus, influencing the innkeeper, his niece, and the robbery victim. Through their shared stories, The Inn on Jericho Road beautifully illustrates how the message of love and mercy, personified by Jesus, can be passed on from one individual to another, irrespective of their circumstances.
Within the covers of this book are two well-researched features: A detailed chronology of Jesus, from the prophecy of His coming, to His Resurrection and beyond. Illuminating the chronology is a map of the Holy Land identifying key points in His ministry. Helpful aids in basic Bible study.
The Inn on Jericho Road has been lauded by several professional editors and has been added to the published list of Recommended Manuscripts by Writer's Edge. This compelling narrative offers readers an opportunity to explore the transformative power of love and mercy, transporting them back to a significant period in religious history.
