Title: Broken Bread: An Ancient Look at the First Last Supper
Why I wrote my book: The Bible is a painting: it is a vast artist’s canvas packed with vibrant words brimming with imagery, a visual feast so immense that the universe itself can fit neatly within its measureless frame. Every page is a breathtaking vista, teeming with colorful characters awash in the mighty marvels of God. And spread out behind them is an impeccably painted panorama, a lively landscape upon which the often sketchy and unfamiliar doings of its inhabitants burst into clear and radiant meaning. It is the masterpiece of both time and eternity…But most people have never read a Bible that looked like that. And that is what this book is about…
A little about myself and my book: Originally schooled as an artist, Jay McCarl has served in ministry since 1973 and is the founding pastor of Calvary Chapel on the Georgetown Divide. He is a veteran Law Enforcement Chaplain, traveling speaker, leads annual tours of Israel and presents Biblical Dinners worldwide. Additionally, Jay has earned both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Chaplaincy Ministry and currently serves as a supervising Chaplain with Placer County Law Enforcement Chaplaincy. He has been married to his beautiful wife Kathee for more than thirty years and has four amazing children.
My favorite part about working with Bethany Press/BelieversPress: This being my first attempt at a book, BelieversPress provided thorough information, quick and accurate estimates, and speedy printing. I never knew that I could produce a book so quickly and inexpensively.
