LONGWOOD, FL-In Visions (paperback, 978-1-60477-032-2), a fast-paced tale of supernatural events, three children encounter an apparition of Jesus, and the news soon spreads throughout town. Town residents have different reactions, some of them quite negative. The children's parents are subjected to malicious gossip and vicious attacks. The parish priest has a crisis of faith. The church wants the story to simply go away. But the children insist that they are telling the truth-especially when Jesus appears again and again.
Visions is a novel for young adults from Victor S. E. Moubarak. "I want to challenge Christians to undergo a reality check and reaffirm their Christian beliefs," says Moubarak. The story brings home the reality of Jesus' presence in the lives of Christians, and how His presence affects what we do and how we live in a way that nothing else can. As Christians, we say we believe that God is present with us at every turn. But do we really live that way? What if we came face to face with Jesus at home, at school, at work? How would our lives be different? Discover how three children and the inhabitants of one small town deal with these very compelling questions.
Victor S. E. Moubarak lives in England. He describes his writing style as "simpleÉdotted with humor" and both refreshing and enjoyable while "dispensing good common sense advice." His Christian message is relevant to today's troubled world.
