Story of Rich Man and Lazarus

This “Story of Rich Man and Lazarus: Hell and Heaven Described in Their Own Words” book is about the lives of a rich man and a homeless man and what happened to them in eternity after their respective deaths. This first-person account is based on “a certain rich man” and “a certain beggar named Lazarus” story, which Jesus Christ shared with His disciples in the Holy Bible’s Gospel of Luke (16:19-31).

In Chapter 1, I describe how the rich man, “A Certain Rich Man,” dressed, what he owned, who he socialized with, where he socialized, how he recreated, where he recreated, how his life was centered around himself, his sins, how he rejected the LORD and how he died. In Chapter 2, I describe how Lazarus, “A Certain Homeless Man,” dressed, how he survived as a homeless man on the street, his poor choices, how a miraculous incident which caused Lazarus to finally rededicate his life to Jesus Christ and how he died. In Chapter 3, I describe what the “Tormented Sinner” saw, what he feels/experiences in hell and the unspeakable agonies he suffers there, such as being separated from God’s presence. In Chapter 4, I describe what the “Comforted Saint” saw, what he feels/experiences in Heaven and the indescribable peace he experiences there, such as being warmed by God’s presence.

This book is a story sharing with readers where not to go (hell) after death, where to go (Heaven) after dying, and how to get there (salvation through Jesus Christ).

Spectators of Jesus the Christ

Spectators of JESUS the CHRIST is a book about Jesus’ life, teachings, miracles and redemptive power, written from the fictitious eyes, imagined thoughts, perceived feelings and fictional observations of 26 characters reported in the Holy Bible’s Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each character (17 men and nine women) are introduced with the three-word “It was I” beginning. Chapters in this book are Biblically-based, theologically-edifying, and literary-captivating first-person essays. Scriptural passages precede and previews every character.

In the first chapter, the reader will read an Old Testament summary and learn where Lucifer came from, why Satan hates them, and his involvement in Bible history. In the next chapters I write about Joseph, Jesus’ father; Mary, Jesus’ mother; Elizabeth, Jesus’ aunt; and Zechariah, Jesus’ uncle. I share a fictitious mother’s story whose baby boy was murdered by King Herod the Great’s troops. I share also how John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus. What was the woman thinking when she walked to and met Jesus at the well? What were Simon the Pharisee’s motives for inviting Jesus over for dinner? What drove the penitent woman to cry on Jesus’ feet with her tears and wipe Jesus’ feet with her hair?

Read how a centurion commander asked Jesus to heal his servant, what a twelve-year-bleeding disorder woman experienced before she touched Jesus’ garment, and who was Jairus, father of the twelve-year-old girl who Jesus resurrected from sleep. Why did King Herod Antipas behead Jesus’ cousin? Disciple Phillip describes how Jesus fed five thousand men, excluding women and children, from just five loaves and two fish. Peter displayed buoyant faith when he walked on the water toward Jesus, but his doubt nearly sunk him. The Greek mother’s persistence saved her demon-possessed daughter. Martha witnessed Jesus resurrect her brother, Lazarus. Blind Bartimaeus heard Jesus was nearby and loudly shouted for the Son of David to receive his sight.

Spectators of JESUS the CHRIST also has chapters about Zacchaeus (hosted Jesus), Judas (betrayed Jesus), Malchus (arrested Jesus), King Herod Antipas (ridiculed Jesus), Pontius Pilate (condemned Jesus), and before sharing Jesus’ seven crucifixion statements, the Roman centurion (crucified Jesus). Read how Nicodemus buried Jesus. This book concludes with Mary Magdalene, who saw her “Rabboni” on resurrection morning, Simon Peter, who did not see his resurrected Lord that morning, and Thomas, who doubted his Lord. At the end of this more than 114,000-word book you’ll read about the complex simplicity of the Holy Trinity.

This thirty-three chapter book has (placed in chronological order) more than one chapter on: King Herod Antipas (chapters 14 and 26); Simon Peter (chapters 16 and 32); Judas Iscariot (chapters 21, 23 and 24); and Pontius Pilate (chapters 25 and 27). Spectators of JESUS the CHRIST presents God’s Word from a unique personalized perspective.
