Leon Hardnett's Newly Released "King Jesus or King Herod: A Decision of Life or Death" Is a Soul-Stirring Character Portrait of the Messiah Through Poetry
"King Jesus or King Herod: A decision of life or death" from Christian Faith Publishing author Leon Hardnett is a moving volume of poems documenting the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the Prince of Peace and giver of life--as opposed to King Herod, who personifies death and destruction.
MEADVILLE, Pa., March 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "King Jesus or King Herod: A decision of life or death": a lyrical tribute to Christ's sacrifice, is the creation of published author Leon Hardnett, an award-winning poet and prose writer who has worked with Church Point Ministries' drama team to coauthor and perform in musicals. He is a married father of three from Louisiana.
Hardnett writes, "This collection of poems was written to describe the vast difference between Jesus and other political and religious leaders as well as those who had different belief systems. Jesus was a spiritual revolutionary leader. There never was one who spoke like him or performed the works or miracles that he accomplished. He demonstrated love, compassion, and mercy to those with whom he came in contact. He was a ray of hope to those who were in despair and a friend to the friendless.
"Herod was a cruel and evil murderer. He reigned over a vast amount of territory which included Bethlehem of Judea. He was filled with selfish pride which was demonstrated by his desire for power.
"All of the other political and religious leaders as well were filled with selfish pride which caused them to express their anger and hate by making false accusations. They sought means by which they could destroy all of those that were not like them or those whom they feared."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Leon Hardnett's new book is an artistic, sweeping vision across history, comparing Jesus to ancient kings and more contemporary villains like Hitler to emphasize Christ's mission on earth and contrast the characters of those who bring life and those who bring the opposite.
