Publisher's Description
The four Gospels contain many stories about encounters Jesus had with family members, people who became his followers, those whom he healed, religious leaders, and Roman officials. Only occasionally do the Gospel writings give us a glimpse of the feelings those encounters produced in the men and women he met. The poems in this book are creative attempts to imagine what those who heard and saw him might have experienced. This poetry will encourage readers to ask themselves how they would have responded if they had encountered Jesus.
Endorsements (1)
“In What They Said, Ken Gibble offers surprising insights that challenge our assumptions and understanding of biblical stories. How refreshing to read poetry that doesn’t just recite what we already know but offers a fresh ‘retelling,’ bursting through our theological limits. The reader will be stretched and uplifted by the gems of wisdom in this volume.”
