While Jesus was on this earth, many people had personal contact with Him. They spent time walking, talking, eating, and observing His interaction with the multitudes of Palestinians. Many were healed, some were forgiven, and most were blessed with His parables. Of these, all were touched in a particular or unique way. Their reactions varied–some with love and appreciation and some with resistance and resentment.

This book takes you into the possible thoughts, words, and actions of eighteen different individuals who had contact with Jesus Christ. Some of these people were mentioned in the Bible only briefly, and some were not even given names. In order to tell their stories, I have added names and some possible backgrounds. Occasionally, scenarios and events (not stated in Holy Scripture) were taken from various historians. In no place is there a contradiction to the Bible.

Each chapter is the telling of his or her own story. At the end of each story, they tell you, the reader, how their lives were changed.
