Looking Through the Eyes of a Child

"Looking Through the Eyes of a Child" is the first book of "The New Way Series." When I completed a chronological study of the first century manuscripts, "The Gospel According to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John," I began to imagine what it might have been like to be a child watching life as only a child can. I wrote a children's book entitled "His Young Friends." While "Looking Through the Eyes of a Child" is about these same children, it is designed to be read by adults who desire to use their imagination to envision what it must have been like to live in the first century at a time of amazing change and transformation, a time of miracles and supernatural happenings. Children have a way of seeing through the games that adults play, the masks they wear, and the bravado they display. It is my hope that you'll be able to see what they saw. There are twenty-two separate stories that together form a biography of the life of Jesus as seen through the eyes of a child.
Can you imagine what it must have been like to see Jesus heal your brother, or raise your best friend from the dead, or stop a storm when your boat was sinking? While the characters are fictional, references are given to the manuscripts listed above that form the basis for the stories.
"The New Way Series" begins with children, but future books will watch them grow to adults and impact their world by what they saw and heard as children. Please enjoy "Looking Through the Eyes of a Child" and anticipate future books in "The New Way Series" based on the manuscript entitled "Acts of the Apostles," written by Luke.
