LONGWOOD, FL--Jesus loves us. So much so that, according to the divine plan, He became man, and when He was 30 years of age, He commenced an earthly ministry lasting three years during which He suffered the scorn and rejection of those He had come to save. He preached a gospel of repentance, forgiveness of sins, and salvation paid for by His suffering and death on the cross. His love for us knows no bounds, and in Francis J. Connelly's third and most ambitious effort as an author, Jesus Says ($21.99, paperback, 978-1-60647-538-6), readers will see how opting for shallow and transient values--instead of accepting Jesus as Savior and the love He has to offer us--will cost them their immortal souls. This book analyzes the words of Jesus according to context, logic, and their connection to the prophecies of the Old Testament.
Says Connelly, "There is hope for the future. What Jesus said thousands of years ago, He says now. If we repent of our sins, believe in Him, and in the gospel He preached, we are saved. The tragic events unfolding in our present world have been prophesied. The words of the prophets of the Old Testament, and the words of Jesus in the New Testament are in large measure being played out now. Jesus will come again."
According to the modest author, he is uniquely unqualified to take on the momentous task commenting on the words of Jesus spoken two thousand years ago. "I have relied completely on my love of Jesus and the hope that He would inspire me to correctly understand the meanings of His teachings, and bless me with the ability to convey this information in Jesus Says," he says.
