The Last Days According to Jesus’ Family: The Story We Left Behind

What if we have misunderstood the “last days” by not listening closely enough to the people who lived them first? The Last Days According to Jesus’ Family retells the New Testament through the witness of Mary and Jesus’ brothers James and Jude—voices that bring fresh clarity to Acts 15, sharpen Jude’s warnings about distortion, and reframe prophecy as covenant faithfulness rather than fear or political triumph.

Rooted in the Abrahamic promise of blessing for all peoples, this book calls the Western church back to an older storyline: Israel’s continuing role, the nations’ grafted-in hope, and a renewed attention to the whole family of Abraham—including the often-forgotten threads of Ishmael and Esau.

For readers weary of end-times hype, this is an invitation to recover a sturdier hope: the one Jesus’ own family carried.
