A creative yet biblically-based examination of the person and life of Jesus Christ, The Home of Jesus: A Conversational Tour journeys through Jesus’ earthly home—from the entrance gate, onto the front porch, into and through the rooms in the home, and exiting onto a pathway for life’s travels. Readers are led to reflect upon the historicity of Jesus, the birth of Jesus, the deity of Jesus, and the love and incarnate nature of Jesus. Did He exist in history? Does He exist today? Will He exist in the future? Along the way the author holds an engaging and thought-provoking “conversation” with readers, making this a unique and meaningful reading experience. Phil Dotson, a skillful tour guide, challenges readers to form their own beliefs based on their examination of the evidence for Christ, without total reliance on others to tell them what to believe. Readers are asked to challenge their own beliefs as well as the beliefs of others: to include the author’s. Accompanying readers on the tour are the voices of other authors, poets, and even hymn writers, including John Bunyan, L.M. Montgomery, and John Milton, adding to the rich narrative of the journey. The first in a series, this intriguing book will appeal to believers and nonbelievers alike. An excellent addition to personal and church libraries!

Includes passages from Lao Tzu, Charles Dickens, George Bernard Shaw, Nelson Mandela, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Erica Jong, among many others. Filled with wonder and hope, Bless This Child is the perfect gift -- a keepsake for expecting mothers and their partners, new parents, grandparents, clergy, and anyone who has a role in nurturing the sacred life of a new baby.
