I was Thinking of You - Paperback

by Lauri A. Matisse (Author)

I was Thinking of You, a work of historical fiction, is written uniquely in the first person of Messiah Jesus, where the Savior voices His inner thoughts as He recounts his steps through His death on the cross.

Meant to draw the reader into a more intimate relationship with God, this unforgettable personal portrayal of the sacrifice of Christ, is based on Lauri's dramatic reading, along with her original songs, which broadcast on her radio show, The Breath of God. The show aired on the TBN Network reaching over two million listeners and on shortwave radio from Greece to the Middle East.

Beginning in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus contemplates the excruciating hours ahead. He prays to His Father, "If there is any other way..." At the same time, He iterates with great compassion, His Love for each person in the world as this quote from the book exemplifies, "My soul was sorrowful, even to the point of death. Small rocks were now embedded in My knees; My stiff shoulders drooped. My head throbbed. The blood seeping from My pores had soaked My robe. I knew what lay before Me this night, the next day. The road stretched out into eternity. Planned many yesterdays ago, unto countless tomorrows. The scarlet thread of redemption was woven into these words that I would utter with great effort. An effort that echoed the Grace of God throughout all time, '...Not My will, but Thine be done.' Tears began to fall as I prayed for you. The tears felt heavy. Each tear seemed to carry a soul, one precious human soul, now and forever, who depended on their Savior, to make this decision. I had to choose the cup, for, after all, I was thinking of you..."

Jesus words continue to give the reader a personal narrative of His death as described in the four gospels, with numerous recounts of His miracles during His ministry, along with His relationship to biblical history.
