About the Book
This is a first person, “as if”, rendition of the New Covenant book of Mark from a perspective, a view – not The View, but a view – of the Unseen Substance of our most precious Faith. It's viewpoint is “through Jesus' eyes” because where the Holy Spirit is Lord, there is Liberty; and so I take the Liberty to let His Word dwell richly in me and flow through me as through the bed of a stream in “a land of milk and honey”, in “a land of grain and new wine”, the same “Mystery” that is “in you” if Christ dwells in your heart by faith, if the Word-made-flesh abides “with” you. It is as a “fire shut up in my bones”, and herein its tongues have licked and have kissed the surface of that which I see. Without His Call and His Equipping, His ever-present Help, I could have done nothing, and could not have sat down, day by day, morning by morning and evening by evening and taken up the “Waterman” He provided at The Chalice Thrift Shop, the “the pen or a ready writer” and given voice to the Voice that sings in me to you.
About the Author
If prophecy is not to be despised, the author is called as an ambassador of the Kingdom of Heaven to be a voice and write, inspired by God's Spirit. To this end he has lived out an amazing three-strand testimony, written on his heart to illuminate God's Love for Israel. The strands involve God's Death-defying deliverance of the author, his wife, children and parents. Fruit of the explosive treasure in this testimony ('TNT' ) is given the poetic voice as he seeks to sail life's seas and “speak...in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs” (Ephesians 5:19).
