Find yourself in the eyes of Christ | with Tessa Afshar

<p>Episode 93 - Stephanie welcomes Tessa Afshar, bestselling author of historical and biblical fiction. Tessa grew up in Iran in a nominally Muslim family before emigrating to the UK. She became a Christian in her twenties, and it has dramatically affected her life's focus. She had a dream about Christ, and she says, "I am one of the only persons in the universe to ever say that my first reaction to Christ was... disappointment"! But then she saw His eyes and she discovered "unbroken love."</p> <p>Tessa writes biblical fiction to draw us deep into the reality of life over the 2,000+ years covered in Scripture. In other words, she does through fiction what the Gospel Spice podcast does through teaching: giving us a fresh perspective to help us fall in love with God more!<br /> Tessa and Stephanie discuss her conversion story, and the importance of seeing ourselves through God's eyes.</p> <p><span style="color:#27ae60;"><strong>  If you've enjoyed this episode, you will LOVE our Gospel Spice series!
