Eye Witness to the Ministry of Jesus begins where The Lost Years (the first book in the series) left off, with Jesus' baptism in the River Jordan. It parallels the four Gospels, but this story is told through the eyes of his cousin Veronica who recalls their travels together and the teaching and healings that take place along the way.

Editorial : About the Author Jacelyn is a lifelong traveler, a citizen of the world, having lived and worked on four continents. A singular event during one of her journeys in 2003 triggered a powerful vision of a previous incarnation as Veronica, cousin to Jesus of Nazareth. Initial disbelief dissipated as she began to chronicle her memories, and the details of that life came alive for her.

It is Jacelyn's hope that the readers of this series will find a deeper, richer and more satisfying account of the life and teachings of the man Jesus and in this revelation discover tools for living a happier and more powerful and fulfilling life. A former U.S. diplomat, Jacelyn served in Brazil, Japan and Po

The costumes are great but the fact that the photographer got these dogs to perfectly pose is amazing! And thank you to the seller for making this for a gr
