My Friend Jesus

This is a fictional account of a lifelong supporter and friend of Jesus. Someone he relied on and turned to throughout his career. That person is Jesse, a man of action. Always prepared to go the extra mile for his Master, he did so at great personal cost. Jesus was crucified, but the person who rescues His ministry and creates his legacy is someone not mentioned or recognized in the scriptures. Raw emotion, violence, and biblical truths are all revealed. This story covers the saints and sinners of the day. From miracles to murder, its all here! You will be enthralled by the risks and relationships and constantly find yourself saying, What if . . .

From Tragedy to Homeless to Triumph


Book Description

I wrote this book for anyone who has fallen from grace that you can rise again. I know everyone has a story no matter how big or small your story is, its your story. No matter what type of hand you have been dealt in life, you have to play your hand. I knew my hand was a bad hand it went something like this I had a 2 of hearts 9 of spade 6 of diamond and a 4 of diamond and king of clubs and I was told to sit at the table of life and play that hand and win. Anyone that knows about poker knows I was dealt an abominable hand, but I knew I still had 47 more cards to play. I did not like my hand, I knew I was dealt an abominable life hand but something deep in my soul told me to throw that hand back in the deck and get another hand and make it work. I knew it was going to be hard but I was going to make it work. I stood up and brushed myself off and tried again even harder. Its not how you start the race; its about how you go through the race and finish the race.
