Forever Changed: A Journey in Jericho

Mr. McConnell has expanded an already vivid character and introduced the reader to intimate details of culture and history. His story brings Zacchaeus to life!

This is a must read! If you love Swindoll and the word pictures that he uses in his writing you will LOVE this book. It is pratical, applicable and a very easy read. Great for devotional gifts to friends.

Mac McConnell's "Forever Changed" describes the life and times of Zacchaeus, the tax collector and skeptic from Biblical times whose life was forever changed the day he met this fellow Jesus, and saw firsthand the proof of His healing grace in the lives of some formerly down-and-out taxpayers. McConnell's writing makes characters from the Bible come alive, and reminds us that no matter how we came into this life, or what we've done along the way, we can all be changed forever when Jesus comes into our life. "Forever Changed" is a book you'll want to keep to read again and again, and share with friends, relatives, neighbors, business associates and others. It's a message of hope...for all of us.

I don't normally read on airplane flights because I expect that I can't really get into anything interesting in the time available. But, this was a book I knew I could read on the coming flight schedule. Almost immediately, I felt I was immersed in the mind of this character. His inner thoughs were revealed in a kind of poetry Mr. McConnell used as he wrote this book. When a person is only known by several lines in a historical book, this "Changed" book helps you to imagine what they were as a real person. My airplane flight gave me insight into Zaccheus' life.

Ever read the story of Zacchaeus in the New Testament and wondered about his life before this tax collector met Jesus Christ? It is this "what if" question which Mac McConnell answers with FOREVER CHANGED, A JOURNEY INTO JERICHO. The reader plunges into the head and heart of Zacchaeus and has an encounter that changed his life. I recommend you read--and re-read this little volume.
