The Christ Report

From the bestselling author of the beloved Valentine's Day perennial, THE LOST VALENTINE -- viewed on Hallmark Hall of Fame by 14.5 million worldwide in 2011 -- comes a tribute to the belief of over 2 billion Christians worldwide, THE CHRIST REPORT!

In a story of intrigue, danger, suspense, love, and healing, the events of the Holy Birth and Crucifixion of Christ are woven into one seamless tale, as we are introduced to three men who must return to the most fateful day in all of human history and make a pact with each other affecting our day in time. This agreement may cost them everything they hold dear, including one, his life.

Sam Robertson, from the present day, is a cynical television and radio personality near death in a New York City hospital. Another is the most reviled innkeeper ever born; the first mortal to reject the Messiah when Mary and Joseph knocked on his Bethlehem door so long ago. The third protagonist is a Roman Centurion who, as a secret messenger for the disciples of Jesus of Nazareth, knows more than he can allow; until now.

A magical tale told from the perspectives of all three men, but especially Sam Robertson of Sam Robertson Live, takes readers back in time on a journey of the soul to the year 33 AD. Secrets, kept since the time of Christ, will be revealed when the three men unite to bring them to the attention of a fallen, impatient, distracted, and sin-filled world in final end times.

World-famous Sam, filled with self-importance and hubris, will soon find that only a life-saving miracle can bring him the hope of living longer to love his new wife, Joy. The Innkeeper Cleopas, battered by regrets as ancient as the biblical story in which he has become immortalized in countless pageants and dramas as a greedy villain, seeks to offer his story of great faith and redeem his name; a story the world has never heard until now.

It will become the innkeeper's charge to convey a vital message and secret to the world, that the people of today are in desperate need of. The guardian of the message and the last Roman to see the man Jesus of Nazareth before his crucifixion is Simon Cornelius, the Centurion, who has been waiting for two millennia to finish a mission he began then.

Now, not only will Sam land the interview of a lifetime, but he'll win another chance at life and love with his new bride Joy. Cleopas, the Innkeeper, will gain a second opportunity to redeem his soul and clear his name as the most vilified innkeeper of all time, as Simon Cornelius shows us the path of true faith, brotherhood, and courage. The secret the three men share, but hidden for too long from Christian sermons, is found in what Sam Robertson will deliver in a televised message to the world: The Christ Report -- The Greatest Story Never Told!

Message from the Author: I began my search for Him just over 50 years ago. The paths I took are sacred to me now, including living far from home in a dangerous land, filled with desperation and poverty. Looking back I see that it was the best laboratory for growing my faith at that time. I am thrilled to bring this First Edition of THE CHRIST REPORT to you.

I have found that Jesus indeed calls to us and knocks upon each of our doors. It is not for Him to open that door, but the listener. And the secret given to all those who do is how to hear Him in this critical and distracting hour of human history. But there is more: a promise too! Read The Christ Report and decide for yourself if a special promise and secret awaits you personally before a final knock comes on your door.

I am thrilled to offer this Book 1 in a series, as a Faith and Inspiration category novel, meant for both entertainment and the growing faith of each reader!
