Foreword
Steven
W. Zachary's unique skills as a lawyer and minister bring a deeper
examination of the Word of God than most writers. He examines, then
cross-examines the written testimony of Scripture as he would a witness
in court. He uniquely finds supporting testimony and arrives at
profound, yet legitimate conclusions. In the pages of this book you'll feel as if you're walking to Jerusalem with Jesus through some of the most intimate moments of his final days on Earth. Steven's book will touch many emotions. You'll feel the hopelessness of Bartimaeus, the blind man. You'll sense Jesus' deep love for His deceased friend, Lazarus. You'll be warmed by His compassion for Mary of Bethany. You'll feel the awful agony He suffered at Calvary; then the sorrowful death of a vision His dear mother and others who had followed Him, felt. You'll witness the disciple's human frailty and see the transforming effect Jesus ultimately had on them. With each step in the journey, you'll discover more and more about God’s amazing grace. But it's in the garden where you'll begin to understand that intimacy is more than an experience or an event. Intimacy is a person. It's Jesus. Jesus IS intimacy. And the best part of all; you can apply these principles Steven reveals in your own life, to strengthen your relationships and to draw you closer to God. You'll discover that intimacy is most precious when you travel the path God's designed for you. What a wonderful read Steven has given us. Enjoy and be transformed!
