We Called Him Yeshua is a collection of possible perspectives from some of the men and women Christ healed. Penn takes readers on a journey from their depths of despair to the joy of salvation. Some of the miracles in this book are the wedding where Christ turned water into wine and restored sight to a blind man. None of the other main characters have a religious background. They feel they cannot be cured of their physical or emotion wounds or escape from their immoral lives. One day, they hear about a man who is becoming popular through his teachings and inexplicable healings. They feel drawn to Him. Once they encounter Christ’s unconditional love and healing power, they become some of His most faithful followers and encourage others to seek Him. Moreover, their journeys are reminders that Christ can heal the most troubled souls. Also, we can still witness miracles and redemption.
Penn also devotes a few chapters to the perspective of Christ Himself. The details in each chapter allow readers to understand the characters’ transformations from suffering to accepting themselves as worthy of God’s blessings.

A piercing scream shattered the reverie of a bride-to-be. Instantly, Melissa Berington left the swans in the Thames River and the cherry tree blossoms to follow the horrific sound across the lush grounds of Bringewood Manor, all the way up to her bedroom, where she finds a young woman about to give birth. The year is 1743. To end the curse haunting her family and threatening her marriage, Melissa must revisit the past.
The story continued with a wedding ceremony at Bringewood Manor, which at the time is owned by the d’Windesleys. Lord Rickert d’Windesley found himself instantly attracted to Melissa, but the feelings were not mutual-at first. She recalled that her fiancé Tom had told her Lord d’Windesley was wicked. Nevertheless, Melissa convinced herself that knowing this stranger will help her uncover the dark secrets of the estate she inherited.
Miraculously, God introduced Melissa to American preacher Jonathan Edwards when she accepted an invitation from Lady Julianne d’Windesley, the sister of Lord d’Windesley, to attend his sermon. Melissa was mesmerized by his words, as if Preacher Edwards spoke directly to her. She was even more taken upon realizing that God answered her prayers for help.

Through a series of letters to one of his friends, De Tocqueville gave lengthy, objective accounts of what he observed while traveling through England and Ireland. His journey began in England, where he had the privilege of observing sessions of Parliament and meeting with prominent politicians. De Tocqueville also compared the debates in Parliament to the American and French forms of government. Plus, he explained discussed the roles of the Anglican and Catholic Churches in England and Ireland, respectively. According to de Tocqueville, the Irish were devout Catholics. Hence, the church played a central role in their lives. In Ireland, de Tocqueville described the long and taxing labors of the working class and how localities oversaw their respective legal systems.
Some of the names and dates are incorrect, according to the translators. However, the plethora of detail de Tocqueville used allowed the reader to visualize a session in Parliament, the division between Catholics and Protestants, his interviews with prominent clergy and politicians at the national and local levels, and returning to a hut after an arduous day at the mill. As a result, readers have the impression de Tocqueville wrote what he saw and heard at those moments.
