The Home of Jesus
A Conversational Tour
by
Philip E. Dotson
A creative yet biblically-based examination of the person and life of Jesus Christ, The Home of Jesus: A Conversational Tour journeys through Jesus’ earthly home—from the entrance gate, onto the front porch, into and through the rooms in the home, and exiting onto a pathway for life’s travels. Readers are led to reflect upon the historicity of Jesus, the birth of Jesus, the deity of Jesus, and the love and incarnate nature of Jesus. Did He exist in history? Does He exist today? Will He exist in the future? Along the way the author holds an engaging and thought-provoking “conversation” with readers, making this a unique and meaningful reading experience. Phil Dotson, a skillful tour guide, challenges readers to form their own beliefs based on their examination of the evidence for Christ, without total reliance on others to tell them what to believe. Readers are asked to challenge their own beliefs as well as the beliefs of others: to include the author’s. Accompanying readers on the tour are the voices of other authors, poets, and even hymn writers, including John Bunyan, L.M. Montgomery, and John Milton, adding to the rich narrative of the journey. The first in a series, this intriguing book will appeal to believers and nonbelievers alike. An excellent addition to personal and church libraries!
Philip Dotson has spent over seventy years reading and studying the Bible, and over forty years teaching Sunday School and leading discussions on the scriptures. This has provided him with great insight on how others see and understand biblical precepts. In his first published book, Mr. Dotson wants to encourage believers in Jesus to deepen their understanding of their faith, and to challenge non-believers to consider the reasons why they don’t believe. Now retired, Mr. Dotson lives in Athens, Alabama with his wife Betty of almost sixty years. His vocational careers spanned over forty years in healthcare: twenty-one years in military healthcare service and twenty-one years in community hospital organizations. His focus in life is to ensure that Proverbs 17:6 is the foundation and reflection of his life. Having put aside golf, gardening and home canning are now his primary recreational activities.
