If My Peopleby Jack E. Dawson
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
The artist had originally thought the hands mending the flag would be a founding father, but as he sketched the original painting his mind was drawn to the scars of Christ and His promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14. Here the nail-scarred hands of Jesus mend our flag, just as His tender hands will mend the heart of our nation if His people pray! The tattered flag speaks of neglect and unconcern for our founding principles as bullet holes proclaim the spiritual and physical warfare waged for our freedom. One blood-tinged hole symbolizes the sacrifice of the flag bearer. The image of an unborn child testifies that life is precious at any age, but notice that the face of evil rises in the smoke of the Twin Towers. Though we live in a world of violence and tragedy, the crimson thread that brings wholeness to the flag illustrates the hope and healing brought by the crimson thread of His death, burial and resurrection that is woven throughout the Bible. Can you see His people praying in the flag? Are you praying and seeking His face? He promises if we do, He will hear and forgive and heal our land.

Holocaust Survivor to do Book Signing on Saturday

2/16/2017

BOOK SIGNING
When: Saturday, February 18 1:30pm-3:30pm
​Where: Passion play Giftshop Author Ann Loutfi of Houston, Texas Title: "Across A Field Of Angels"
Books available to purchase. She is a Holocaust survivor.

War is hell, and World War II created hell for everyone it touched. Across a Field of Angels is the gripping story of how one Christian family, forced from their rural farm in Germany, made their slow escape from the terrors of the war and Hitler's regime. The Guetter family--along with neighboring families--spent months hiding in forests and abandoned buildings only to later spend years shuffled among refugee camps where rations were slim and disease was rampant. But one mother's strong faith kept hope in spite of indescribable fear and suffering, until they eventually found a safe haven in the United States. The strength of a mother and the innocence of children come together in a unique, supernatural way in Across a Field of Angels. ​

Don Willis, Author of the Penitent Thief - October 29 Book Signing

8/9/2016

1 Comment

Don Willis, author of the Tale of the Penitent Thief, will be here from 3:00pm in the gift shop to sign his book. His book will soon be turned into a movie to be filmed on the grounds of The Great Passion Play.

Arguably the most influential figure in human history was Jesus Christ. Wars were fought in his name. In his name many nations rose, and many nations fell. Many prominent leaders gained power from him, and many others were persecuted and killed for their belief in him. It has been said that over 6 billion Bibles have been printed in almost every language, and countless other millions of stories, books, and films have told the story of his life. Yet, he died with two men by his side, and history knows almost nothing about them. Until now.

Young Dismas and his brother Jotham are blissfully unaware of the lifelong journey that awaits them soon after their encounter with the young girl, Mary, her husband, Joseph, and their baby, Jesus. Their lives will soon take a very cruel turn that leads through hurt, hardship, betrayal, and murder. Along the way, they make unlikely alliances with Tiran and Gestas, two known criminals with a penchant for theft and murder. It is a path that will ultimately lead them all to intersect with their brutal destinies. Throughout their journey, their lives will intersect with some of the most famous figures of the Bible, and they will learn about love, faith, and the most powerful weapon against sin . . . forgiveness.
A Christian foremost, a husband and father of five, Don Willis is a Marine Corps veteran with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and has spent a majority of his career in law enforcement and investigations. Don also has a tremendous amount of international experience and has spent several years living in Japan, Russia, and the UK. It is through these unique experiences and his Christian faith that Don has gained a deeper insight into human nature. In his role, he is often exposed to people going through the worst time in their lives. It has allowed him to have a deeper understanding of the thoughts and motivations that people experience when they make mistakes and they genuinely want to make things right. Through these experiences, Don has also learned to appreciate the value of finding ways to help the youth of today make better decisions to avoid problems later in life. Because of this passion, he has also done a great deal of work volunteering with youth organizations his entire life. Today Don works and resides with his family in Bentonville, Arkansas.

Good God by Lucas Miles Book Signing on July 29

7/16/2016

Lucas Miles, author of Good God, will be visiting the Passion Play grounds on Friday, July 29! Will you be able to be here and hear his story?

God is neither responsible for your pain, nor is He allowing it. In fact, He is against it and wants nothing more than to prevent it.Deep inside every person is a hope that God is good. Yet faced with personal hardship or the world's tragedies, it's easy to doubt God's character and to blame Him for our pain.
Good God unpacks our misguided concepts of God so that we can begin to see Him as he truly is -- pure, loving, and completely good. If you've wondered if God is testing you -- or perhaps worse, punishing you, you are not alone. Most of us want to believe that God is good, but we cannot find a way to harmonize God's goodness with the evil that exists in this world. Good God introduces the God that we all want to believe in but have been too afraid to embrace.
With the Bible as his guide, Lucas takes readers on a journey to uncover the lost and forgotten nature of the Creator of the Universe and discover a real relationship with God.
Not only is God not dead, but Lucas's book shows us that he is even better than we previously thought!-- Kevin Sorbo, actor, God's Not Dead
