About this title

Synopsis:

In offering this book, I am only too aware that I am not offering something new or original. However, I dare to hope that I may offer a different perspective on something with which we are all familiar. The message of the gospels still stands, no matter how we choose to approach it. I have always tended to look for simpler and more direct ways of presenting it, in the hope that with understanding comes a greater response. I grew up with the belief that I lived my life, then I died and, depending on different factors, I ended up in hell, heaven, or purgatory. Many years later, I see things much more simply. I just hope this is 'wisdom' and not 'wishful thinking'. In this presentation, I am suggesting that Jesus was sent by the Father to catch up with us as we left the Garden, to tap us on the shoulder and to say, 'Come on back home. My Father is waiting to welcome you back, and to forgive everything. All you have to do is to turn to him with all your heart, and he will hold you close to his heart.' Jesus goes further, to tell us that he himself will lead us back to the Garden, as we would never be able to make our way by ourselves.
