<p>A Jewish woman’s unconventional quest to find Jesus in modern Israel<br /><br />With candor and an intimate knowledge of the Land and its people, Bobbie Ann Cole takes you on some intriguing time travel, such as to the ceremonial slaughtering of Passover lambs in the nearby temple as Jesus died on the cross.<br />Her moving and compellingly-written personal story of making Aliyah to Israel with her husband, Butch effectively interweaves Israel’s ancient and modern history with biblical references.

Story Behind The Book

"My love for short stories was the impetus for bringing this collection into the world. Some of these stories were written very early in my life while others were created this year. While the older work has certainly been edited, you can see my transformation as a storyteller from my author infancy to what I consider now as my maturity in writing." - JC De La Torre
