Sacred Encounters with Jesus, Paperback/G. Scott Sparrow

Sacred Encounters with Jesus is a discerning and comprehensive account of how people still experience Christ. The nature of these experiences is that Jesus heals and transforms people just as he ministered to his broken-hearted and defeated disciples. The reader will enter into the miraculous experience of the terminally ill girl who was healed by Jesus' touch after her parents had already said their final good-byes, will share the shock of a psychotherapist who turned to see Jesus walking beside her one day, and will feel the incredulous wonder of a woman who reached up and touched Jesus' hair as he knelt beside her and prayed. These experiences raise the possibility that some people wilt readily accept and others will summarily dismiss -- that Jesus can be experienced as directly and as personally today as when he walked the earth 2,000 years ago.
