Messiah:
Biblical Retellings
by

Genre:
Biblical Retellings
Have
you ever wondered what it would have been like to be one of the five
thousand when Jesus multiplied the fish and the loaves? Or one of his
disciples when he walked on water? Or to have seen Lazarus come out
of the tomb? Ever wonder what Mary thought when Gabriel told her she
was pregnant by the Holy Spirit, or what the fallout was like in her
personal life? Ever considered how those two disciples felt on the
road to Emmaus, when they found that the man with whom they had been
talking was in fact their risen Lord?
This
collection of retellings from the gospels is designed to bring each
of these stories and more to life in your imagination. They stick to
the facts wherever the facts are known, from either the scriptures
themselves or from extra-biblical commentaries. But they also add in
back story when necessary, reimagining the sights, the sounds, the
colors, and the emotions for the person most involved. Each retelling
ends with an afterword discussion, summarizing the reasons for the
choices made in the story, followed by the scriptures
themselves.
Together,
I hope these retellings help to paint a portrait of the Messiah.
C.A.
Gray is the author of three YA Amazon bestselling trilogies: PIERCING
THE VEIL (magic and quantum physics meet Arthurian legends), THE
LIBERTY BOX (dystopian metaphysics and mind control technology), and
UNCANNY VALLEY (dystopian coming-of-age with neuroscience and super
intelligent A.I). She starts with some scientific concept that she's
interested in learning more about herself, and then creates lots of
epic chaos and high-stakes action to go along with it. Her stories
are free of gratuitous violence, language, and sexual content, and
she abhors depressing endings... but they're not all kittens and
rainbows either! She also listens to and reviews audiobooks on her
website (www.authorcagray.com), Goodreads, Instagram, and on her
podcast, Clean Audiobook Reviews, where she also occasionally
interviews other authors.
By
day, C.A. Gray practices naturopathic medicine, podcasts, and writes
medical non-fiction under her maiden name (Lauren Deville). She lives
in Tucson, AZ with her husband Frank, and together they maintain an
occasionally contentious film review blog (under her real name:
Lauren Baden. Three names. Yes.) She's kind of the queen of
multitasking--so in her spare time, she creates whatever meals or
crafts she found most recently on Pinterest, drinks lots of coffee
(Aeropress btw) and occasional wine (reds--and she saves the corks
for craft projects), works out (while listening to audiobooks), and
studies the Bible (about half of the podcasts on Christian Natural
Health are scripture meditations). ...She does sleep, too.
