Bag om Encounters
Just one short encounter with Jesus was all it took for people to step into freedom, wholeness and life. A single moment with Jesus brought breakthrough, even after years of suffering with complex issues. Yet each encounter was the result of a journey. What was going on in their hearts and minds as they reached out to Jesus? What were their hopes and fears as they journeyed towards Him? - Maybe they were the same ones as you have?
These ten stories are based on the accounts found in the gospels but they are not meant to be read as scripture. However, they are written to be consistent with both God's and man's nature. By dramatising the accounts, my hope is that they would help you experience just one possibility of what it might have been like for each person. A glimpse into the unique journey of their hearts and minds, of their hopes and fears, leading up to the moment of their encounter with Jesus and subsequent breakthrough. Every story, every breakthrough, has been recorded in scripture to encourage us. For what God has done for one, is available for all... for you!
After each short story I have added a few thoughts and questions to help you ponder, explore and go on your own journey encountering Jesus.

Wow! I felt like I just stepped out of the Bible. These stories are so "alive", I felt like the main character in each story and the love Jesus had for each person who encountered Him is also the love He has for me. First the Story then the questions then the blessings. No other book does this... Peter has lived what he has written, one can tell because there is so much "life" flowing out of the way he tells the stories. But these are not just stories, they are real encounters. Read for yourself and see. Read this book and you will enter into the heart of Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Peter has written a remarkable little book. It is my unwavering experience that God speaks through scripture. Some of the nuances and understandings may have been lost through time and cultural changes and Peter has done a great job of bringing things back to life through his retelling of some of the familiar stories. He poses some challenging and deeply necessary questions. I was blessed in the retelling and so will you be.
