What is He really like?
That quiet, personal question - not theological, not doctrinal, but deeply human - is the heartbeat of this book.
An Evening with Jesus: A Novel of the Father's Heart is a work of Christian fiction written as an unhurried conversation between an unnamed narrator and Jesus, set along the roads of Galilee from evening through the following day. The narrator is no hero - simply a man who stayed when everyone else went home, full of questions he had never dared to ask and a hunger he had never been able to name.
The conversation moves through the deepest questions of the human heart: Why does the Father seem so distant? Does He truly love me - not humanity in the abstract, but me? Where is God when we suffer? What is the Church for? How do I remain near Him when His presence feels far away? Each question is met not with a lecture but a conversation - patient, unhurried, and never distant - until the narrator discovers that every answer leads to the same place: not merely correct belief, but a living Person.
This book was born from a lifetime of pastoral ministry and one persistent conviction: many who struggle with faith are not struggling with theology alone - they are struggling with the Father. They have prayed, received the Holy Mysteries, kept the fasts. But the living sense of who the Father truly is has grown dim - and without it, even the richest sacramental life can feel like a house whose light has gone out.
This novel seeks to rekindle that light - leading the reader into a living encounter with the Father's heart, and to the discovery that the Scriptures, the Church, the sacraments, and prayer are the Father's own arms reaching toward His children.
This book is for the faithful who have quietly lost the sense of connecting to Someone real. For the doubter who cannot walk away. For the seeker at the door. And for anyone who has ever asked:
Does the Father know me? And does He care?
The answer is not an argument. It is a story. And it ends with the discovery that you are known, you are loved, and that the Father's door is not merely unlocked.
It is open. And He is standing at the threshold.
