What wonderful book! Yet another in Ravi's "Great Conversations" series. In this imagined conversation between Jesus, Oscar Wilde, and Blaise Pascal, Ravi addresses so many things that are relevant to us today. I have listed an excerpt below for your perusal and edification! Thanks again for reading!
"I walk these streets every night because this is where life's biggest mistakes are made. And this is where the most wounded and hurting spirits walk in shells of bodies-the living dead. This is where they begin to forcibly separate what I have joined together. They're like men walking to their graves in the dark, blinded by these colored lights...to the sepulchers they are being dragged by the seducers of their imagination. They call these the streets of pleasure. How untrue! How deceitful! How destructive! I hear more screams from here at daybreak than I do from beds of sickness." - Jesus
