The Emmaus Conversation: An Eyewitness Account from the Unnamed Disciple is a unique and riveting reconstruction from the unnamed disciple’s perspective found in Luke 24 regarding his journey with Cleopas on the road to Emmaus after witnessing Jesus’s crucifixion and burial, along with hearing claims of His empty tomb. Suddenly, a Stranger begins walking with them. With their eyes “prevented” from recognizing Him as the risen Lord Jesus Christ—Yeshua the Messiah, their new, wise Traveling Companion correlates the Old Covenant Scriptures, by way of Moses and the prophets, with what they witnessed regarding Jesus’s suffering, death, burial, and resurrection.

"This little book does a big thing. It takes the age-old truths of the prophetic accuracy of the Bible and communicates it in an appealing literary format. In so doing, it portrays one of the great apologetic tools of the Christian faith in an engaging and readable form." DR. NORMAN L. GEISLER Author or co-author of over one-hundred books, Co-founder Veritas International University

"The Emmaus Conversation brings to life that famous encounter between the two disciples and our Lord Jesus on the road to Emmaus. While it is based in part on an imaginative reconstruction, it is filled with the throbbing pulse of the excitement of the sensational impact that our Lord's resurrection should have on all of our lives." DR. WALTER C.KAISER, JR., President Emeritus, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

"Judy's touching, sensitive, and creative retelling of the Emmaus road account stands in a class by itself. She handily employs theological insight by connecting the Old and New Testaments. This she does, not through bland exposition, but by unpacking its particulars, and by lacing her narrative with colorful and creative conversation."
DR. JEFFREY L. SEIF, Distinguished Professor of Bible and Jewish Studies, Kings University

"Creative and an entertaining read, The Emmaus Conversation is a review of what the Scriptures say about the Messiah and Jesus. Do they link up? Read this imaginative look at the walk on the Emmaus Road and see."
DR.DARRELL L. BOCK, ResearchProfessor of New Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary

"The Emmaus Conversation is an excellent sketch of the sort of things that might have been said by Yeshua and the two on the way to Emmaus after the Resurrection. It presents a good number of the prophetic passages that we have reason to believe were recognized as Messianic in the early church. It gives us a good feel for how Cleopas and his friend might have reacted to these things as 'their hearts burned within them.'"
