“Story of Rich Man and Lazarus” is an excellent book that conveys to us the urgency for us to be saved through Jesus Christ. It is clear —in the rawness of his writings which details the immoral corruption of the rich man— that we as fallen humans desperately need the Savior. Ronald F. Owens Jr. surpassed his creative literary work with his passion for the lost. The Holy Spirit anointed him with the ability to describe the fiendish fiery abyss of hell, and the magnificent majestic throne of Heaven. He brings home that urgency of salvation through Jesus Christ. I pray that many may be saved through his book.

Spectators of Jesus the Christ
“Read from cover to cover. Your life will never be the same again.”

– Evangelist Alveda C. King

The “Story of Rich Man and Lazarus” is a great book that explains the truth about the Luke 16:19-31 story. Ronald has a great ability to make the Word of God real and relevant. Young people should get a real understanding of this truth from the Word of God.

Wow!!! There are so many words that came to mind as I read this book. I was drawn in from the start. I literally saw the stories play out in my mind as I read. I nearly teared up reading the heartbreaking stories of both the “Story of the Rich Man and Lazarus,” albeit for different reasons. The Rich Man’s pain and anger drove him away from God, while Lazarus’ pain and anger eventually drove him back to the Father. Ronald brings these two men to life in a way that causes the reader to get into their minds. The ramification for rejecting Jesus and His gift of salvation and the eternal rewards is dire and everlasting. The blessings of repentance and faith in Jesus are out of this world! I love how he wove his family’s testimony into Lazarus’ story. He rightly ended the book with a pleading to unbelievers to repent and follow Jesus. Anyone who ignores, scoffs, mocks, or dismisses the realities of Heaven and hell after reading this book might be a reprobate.

“Story of Rich Man and Lazarus” is a wonderfully written book! It takes a red-lettered Jesus story and gives it a modern twist! It’s a scary reminder that I do not want to go to hell, and I will never wish anyone there! I cried when Lazarus was redeemed. I also cried at the description of his homecoming in Heaven! I recommend this book —for the saved and unsaved!

“Story of Rich Man and Lazarus” is a powerful real life account of good, evil, free will and faith. Readers will see in this book that there is something much more powerful guiding our lives and something extremely powerful sweeping us into sin. It’s loaded with descriptions of “human temptation” and how partaking in sinful activities can lead a person on a path of destruction. This book is also packed full of stories where God/Jesus sends others to give us the inspiration to turn our lives over to Jesus and reject sin. We choose to live eternally in Heaven or hell.

Travel back in time with a modern day, first-person recollection of Biblical patriarch, Noah. As sin abounds, you’ll learn how Noah personally listens to God and toils to build the ark, saving his family and humanity. “Noah, Preparer of the Ark” is a fresh look at the age old problem of sin, the importance of obedience and God’s everlasting promise to His people.

If there’s a modern day novella about the story of the 12 disciples, “Judas, Betrayer of Jesus” is that book. This is a must read book that’s full of twists and turns. In my 25 years of reading books, this definitely threw a curve ball at me. Get “Judas, Betrayer of Jesus.”

I just purchased “Spectators of Jesus the Christ” and “Noah, Preparer of the Ark” and cannot wait to start reading! I am so intrigued by the first-person perspective in which this author writes, and am expecting new revelation just by walking in each character’s shoes. Bring it on, LORD!
