Synopsis

I never meant to write a book about Jesus. I just wanted to read the bible for myself at least once, all the way through, as an act of respect for my ancestors. After all, I am built out of these folks and their God.Sunday school taught stories to mold me into a moral human being. How? Fear-hellfire and brimstone if I misbehaved. Old Testament stuff.Churches still scare me. In fact, that seems to be their strategy.The New Testament is different. As it turns out, Jesus is an anarchist! An anarchist is anyone that does not need the law or a cop to tell them the right thing to do. Jesus drives responsibility and freedom down to their most fundamental level, into me.What is right in this world? If I just listen, I know it in my heart. In the human heart, all is known. This is what Jesus shows me, the open door between the human heart and the Holy Ghost.I invite you to take a look into your own heart to see if what I say in Footsteps is true.
