About this ebook
This is a narrative poem of Christ’s journey to the cross that has been written with insight and sensitivity. There are one hundred and twenty-nine stanzas that are built from a careful selection of the details of the life of Christ. The grace and majesty of Jesus, the Savior, will touch your heart as you read these lines. May you be blessed.
John Lowstreet
John Lowstreet's first book is about the beatitudes, because in them Christ has made a plain declaration of what He expects of us. Christ is not complicated. He is profound, however. John has spent his life trying to know God personally and to more deeply undertand God. His one quest is to have more experiences with God. John studied the Bible to find God, and as he found Him, grew to love Him. His writings and poems reflect deeply held convictions about the character of God and the importance of Jesus Christ.
