Whoa Weeee What a ride! Thank you TOM! Your book was a joy to read and your artwork is fantastic! Love your sensitivity and your consistent voice. It was a sad day when I finished reading your book.  Kinda of like saying goodbye to a fun evening of feasting with friends.

"Heresy" - Jesus, The Teenage Years
          Three separate stories spanning a period over 2,000 years. 
          A painting titled, Jesus, The Teenage Years, upsets a number of evangelicals after receiving praise from a galley opening. One particular group sends a member of their hit squad called, "The Swordsman" to destroy or deface the art. When the effort backfires and results in more publicity and fame for the blaspheming artist,  an assassination is planned.
          Nineteen year-old Jesus is working as a building contractor and fighting the Roman occupation. Intelligent and well-traveled, he is also a complex bitter young man, angry at the world after discovering the murder of twenty-five children in Bethlehem because of his birth. His heart softens after falling in love with a young woman named Mary. In the midst of their courtship, violence erupts in the city when Roman cruelty becomes intolerable. The young couple marry, then travel to Bethlehem hoping to discover the truth behind the massacre of the innocents.
          A young soldier named Tim is fighting his own battles in Iraq. Disillusioned with the pointless invasion and its tragic consequences, he wonders what Jesus might have done; would he have battled the Americans? After a near tragic event, Tim lays down his weapons and sets out on a mission to bring peace to the land. On a mission to rescue three French doctors in an ancient walled-in city, he passes Jesus and Mary on a desolate mountain road, escaping the violence in the city his convoy is traveling to.
