The Day That Changed Forever: Twenty-One Life Changing Experiences at the Cross
The events surrounding Christ’s Passion really happened, and the people who experienced those events were real people, just like us—individuals with their own histories, preconceptions, desires and ambitions. In The Day That Changed Forever , Dr. Tim Roehl tells the stories of those events and people, using a combination of rigorous biblical scholarship and what he calls “sanctified imagination.” What must Barabbas have been thinking when he was set free so that an innocent man could die in his place? What went through the mind of Simon of Cyrene when he was drafted by Roman soldiers to carry Jesus’ cross? What led Annas, a religious leader, to use his influence to condemn Jesus to death? Sometimes a story can become so familiar that it begins to lose its power to startle and amaze its audience—it can be tempting for Christians to think they “know” the story of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection while forgetting to be changed by it. The unique viewpoints of the people at the cross, imagined with compelling realism in The Day That Changed Forever, will bring fresh perspective to the familiar events and awaken in readers a newfound passion for the old, old story.
