John the Baptist was a manuscript prepared for a seminary class at Liberty University. When submitted, the professor recommended it to be published. The project initially included two PowerPoint presentations, one for children and one for adults. Extensive research was conducted on the cultural background and customs for the time period. The story takes place near the Jordan River valley during Jesus' adult years. There is some controversy over the location of John's residence and over his burial site. The places used as tourist attractions, although used by John, they may not be his actual residences or burial site. It was a pleasure doing the research and preparing the manuscript. The books referenced in researching John were obtained from Liberty University Library.
