What was your motivation behind this project? I was motivated to write this book because of the response I saw to my one-man play, "The Centurion's Report." Seeing the events of Passion Week from a different perspective can bring us up close to Jesus in unexpected ways.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I hope readers will come away with a fresh understanding of God's love for them, as seen through Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross. Nothing changes the human heart like a trip to the foot of the cross. I want that journey to be real, fresh and transformative for every reader.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? While writing this book I went through a time of personal suffering and I believe that suffering helped shape and give meaning to this book.
