The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14
With memories of the brutal death of his father, and the injury inflicted on him, Hanan decides to take care of his mother by exercising his revenge on the Romans.
His journey is filled with many dangerous confrontations, and he is tormented not only by his anger for the Roman rulers, but also by his shame about how he is living his life compared to his father who had lived an honorable life and his mother he is caring for.
Hanan meets people who become caring friends, and he keeps his shameful activities from them as well as his mother.
There is one person who crosses Hanan’s path in life and His name is Jesus. Hanan never meets Jesus personally until he faces the end of his life, but he follows Him from afar, watching Jesus perform many miracles. Hanan makes sure his mother meets the man called Jesus, but he never feels worthy enough to seek the Divine Healer’s blessing.
The cross and all of its infliction of pain becomes a place where Hanan sorrowfully witnesses the brutal killing of the man called Jesus that he had been following from a distance, but it also becomes the place he receives the blessing he had so long desired.

REDEMPTIVE HOPE IN THE MAN CALLED JESUS
A Reader's Response from Amazon: The author creates a captivating story about the thief on the cross next to Jesus. Tom paints a picture of every detail with words. It's as if you are right there watching the story unfold in real time. This book tells the story of Jesus' redemptive power in the thief's life as it causes you to look inward at your own journey. It walks you through the sin, the remorse, the shame, the guilt, the feeling of needing to hide, and ultimately leads to Glory. Victory over sin and hope in Jesus.
I read this book in a day, but the story of redemption and hope will stay with me for a lifetime. These pages are filled with the presence of the Holy Spirit. Tom has done a phenomenal job bringing to life Hanan, the thief on the cross, who now dwells in Paradise with his Maker. It displays the pursuit and passion Jesus has for His people. We are never out of reach from God to come down and turn our life upside down simply to renew us and bring glory to Him.
I encourage you to get your hands on a copy of this book. It's beautifully illustrated with words and the story is powerful. Redemption filled. AMANDA
