Jesus Christ as Known and Seen by One African: An Intimate Personal Confession by a Believer who Once was a Non-believer - Hardcover

by Okon Akpan (Author)

What are written in this book are based on the author's own life experience and his personal belief in Jesus Christ as the result of that experience. The author has learned that, although one can believe in any of the many things this world offers, of all those things, it is the life that is founded upon Jesus Christ that is most reassuring. That is true because in that life is the fulfillment of the promise of yet a better life in which one is guaranteed to live with Jesus Christ in eternity in the next world.

Also in this book, the author tries to answer the often-asked question by some people: "How do you know that your Jesus is not a myth, a non-existing being that lives only in the figment of imagining of religious fanatics like you?" The author has applied a non-scientific and foolproof method to answer that very important question demonstrating that Jesus exists and lives, and, in fact, that Jesus sometimes walks this earth visiting certain people. Yes, Jesus does visit His beloved believers in this world, not by fanfares, not in royal procession, but in silence, unannounced, leaving with those believers His usual words of comfort and solace: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

The book stresses that, although Jesus does not promise His believers comfort and wealth or life devoid of pain and suffering in this life, He does want them to have certain things and have them abundantly, things which remind them of His ever presence and love. Those things include the joy that springs forth from Christian Marriage, protection against all dangers both physical and spiritual, and protection against all kinds of sickness because Jesus Christ still performs miracles and He is the doctor of doctors.

Finally, the book exhorts non-believers to seek Jesus Christ and embrace Him in faith., or, at least, should give Him a try by testing to see whether or not He will fulfill the promises He makes to all His true believers.
