Paul Rigby started writing a story about Jesus in the mid-1980s, but felt the work was not up to scratch. As a result, the manuscript sat in a cupboard for 40 years.
Around Christmas time in 2023, he heard the following words in his mind just prior to falling asleep at night: 'Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour'. This occurred every night from then on. He noted the near co-incidence with the terrible trouble that befell the geographical area of Palestine in October of that year. Deciding this was a call to action, it led him to re-evaluate the story. Experience and information gathered over the intervening decades was new raw material for the current version.
Paul often feels he is more scribe than author of this tale. Either way, he hopes it will act as a thought-provoker for these days of accelerating global uncertainty.
