Behind the Halo offers readers an engaging, new perspective on the humanity of Jesus and how it could have impacted his emotional reactions to people and events around him in this fictional account of his ministry based on the gospels of the Bible.

Follow Jesus, the man and teacher, and his group of followers as they navigate issues of ancient Israel. Issues like poverty, political intrigue and suppression, undiagnosed and misunderstood health conditions ran rampant, much like they do in our 21st century world.

Overlay the cultural setting with a band of believers as diverse in their livelihoods and socio-economic statuses as they were in temperaments. Let's pull back the curtain for a peek at what interactions between them, their teacher, and others may have looked and sounded like.

Maybe there was more to this guy, Jesus, than we have dared to imagine. Maybe he displayed all the messy emotions we do. And maybe those emotions also make him more relatable than we ever dared to hope.

When we dig deeper into Scripture, we discover Jesus was far more than a two-dimensional Bible character. He interacted with all kinds of people with humor, compassion, and yes, sometimes even frustration and aggravation.

Whether you are a new believer, a non-believer, or have been a Christ-follower for decades, Behind the Halo promises stories of a man, whose life and teachings, continue to challenge the powerful and educated, while offering solace and strength to the meek. Allowing ourselves to consider at Jesus from an emotional viewpoint, especially his interactions and relationships with others, provides an opportunity to connect with him in a new and more personable way.
