I Was Called Barabbas

By M.D. House

Description:

We know precious little of the man called Barabbas, a contemporary of Jesus of Nazareth. He is variously described in the historical record as thief, murderer, rebel, and notable Roman prisoner.

His release by the Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate was part of the supernatural plan for the Christ to offer himself as the ultimate blood sacrifice, but it’s doubtful Barabbas understood any of that at the time.

Many have wondered what became of him, or rather, who he became after that fateful day. Someday we will know the answer, but in the meantime, we can imagine that, like all of us, he too sought a path of personal redemption, imperfectly.

In I Was Called Barabbas, M.D. House offers his vision of Barabbas’ life by imagining what came after his momentous encounter with Jesus of Nazareth.

Book Takeaway:

God can do remarkable things with the "weak" things of the Earth, and none of us can descend below his reach.

Why the author wrote this book:

This project surprised me. I intended to focus on science fiction and sci-fi, but this story so fascinated me that I've ended up turning it into three full-length books now. What an amazing and faith-promoting journey for me.
