Judy Barnes – författare

BORN TO BE KING was written as a sequel to TWO GIRLS FROM NAZARETH. TWO GIRLS FROM NAZARETH was the story I wrote about two girls born and raised in Nazareth. Although, it is mostly fiction, it is a story that could have happened. The two girls grew up and they knew one of them would be the mother of the Messiah. BORN TO BE KING starts where the first book ended. I discovered in my research that not much was known about Jesus'' life before he went to Jerusalem to preach the Gospel. So using my imagination, I was able to write the story. Who knows how much is fiction?

Two girls who grow up in Nazareth. Both with the name of Mary. They know that the Christ Child will be born of a woman named Mary. Could either of them be the one? The Christ Child is to be born in Bethlehem, and neither of the girls has ever been to Bethlehem. Each of the girls are virgin and might qualify, but how could this be?

HIS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is the final book in the trilogy, which follows TWO GIRLS FROM NAZARETH and Born to be King of the World. This book follows His ministry in the Holy Land. A new character was added who follows Jesus everywhere He goes and asks a lot of questions about Jesus''s teachings. This book should be interesting to any age of reader if they have questions they would like answered.

Judy Barnes is in her later years and just discovered a few years ago that she loves to write books. She has a great imagination, which comes in handy when writing about little-known facts. She was born in Utah but moved around a lot when she was raised as an Air Force Brat. She raised a large family who has moved to other parts of the United States. She now lives in Arizona with her husband for many years.

TJ Williams grows up not interested in activities that normal boys are. Trucks, cars, planes, and most sports he doesn''t want any part of. He is a loner while growing up. He doesn''t like his relatives. He finds hanging around his mother better than being with his dad. Tom, his father, tries to interest him in ''manly sports'' such as football, baseball, basketball, and even soccer. His relatives don''t understand why he is so different. He doesn''t have any friends until he is in his teens. He isn''t interested in girls until he is in college and meets a beautiful girl and falls in love with her. She likes TJ but doesn''t want to marry him because he doesn''t understand things about her. This is an interesting book with lots of twists and turns.

Judy Barnes has written a few books related to the Bible. She has a way of making the characters interesting and believable. Her first three books are a trilogy. "Two Girls From Nazareth" is about Mary and the birth of Christ. The second book, 

"Born To Be King of the World," is about Jesus'' growing up years. The third book, "His Unconditional Love," is about Christ''s ministry. The fourth book is 

"Mary Magdalen." Ms. Barnes didn''t start writing books until her latter years. She and her husband raised a large family. When the children were alone, Ms. Barnes discovered a love for writing. This book, "Love Me For Who I Am," differs from anything she has ever written. This is easy to read and enjoyable.

Mary Magdalen is the story of a beautiful woman who has a childhood that has a lot of problems. She learns of the Savior and becomes one of His disciples. She loves to witness Jesus''s miracles. And there''s a catch. Read the book to find out what it is.

Judy Barnes has become an author as she has grown older. As a child she would be considered an Air Force Brat. She, along with her mother and stepfather, moved around a lot. She made good grades in school, even though she didn''t spend much time in one place very long. She started out wanting to be a secretary, then she painted with oils for a while. She had a hard time finding her niche until she started writing stories. Now she is happy with her accomplishments. She has been married to her husband, Paul, for 61 years.

BORN TO BE KING OF THE WORLD is a sequel to TWO GIRLS FROM NAZARETH. It begins where TWO GIRLS FROM NAZARETH ends. It follows Christ from His birth until He leaves to preach the Gospel in the Holy Land. Because little is known about His growing up years, it is mostly fiction derived from the imagination of the author. 

Judy Barnes found out from writing TWO GIRLS FROM NAZARETH that more needed to be said about Jesus as He grew up and matured. Although the book is mostly fiction, she felt that with her imagination it was maybe possible. Who knows?

Although Judy is in her older years, she is able to convey the stories she would like others to read and enjoy. She has a large family all over the United States who support her in her endeavor.
