In the grand scheme of things, did Judas have a purpose?
Judas Iscariot, the man we love to hate. But who would Jesus have been without him? In this unique short story we journey with the man who Jesus chose to be one of the original twelve disciples, who was with Jesus throughout his entire three-year ministry.
Going beyond his worth, which always seems to start at thirty pieces of silver and suicide, dare to step outside the boundaries of one-dimensional thinking and tradition and ask yourself: "In the grand scheme of things, did Judas have a purpose?"
Excerpt
Where did Judas go when he died? Did he go to heaven or hell? For Christians and non-Christians alike, Judas Iscariot is the man we love to hate. But who would Jesus have been without him?
In this unique short story we journey with the man who played what is arguably one of the most pivotal roles in all of human history. We know Jesus chose him to be one of the original twelve disciples. We know he was with Jesus throughout his entire three-year ministry. Now it’s time to separate him from the crowd.
Going beyond his worth, which always seems to start at thirty pieces of silver and suicide, dare to step outside the boundaries of one-dimensional thinking and tradition and ask yourself: “Did Judas have a purpose?”

5 Stars - A Profound...Fascinating Story!
In this thought provoking short story Royle weaves together an interesting concept about a topic most people never want to talk about or even consider: Judas and the possibility of forgiveness. Judas went straight to hell, didn’t he? Don’t be so sure.
The approach the author takes with this story pulls you in and connects you to Judas as one human to another. Judas is not the hated enemy of all humankind, but someone with thoughts and feelings.
This book will challenge and broaden your thinking. When it comes to God and the concept of unconditional love, do we have the ability to love like God? Or is that asking too much?
5 Stars - Beautiful Book!!!
I’ve been fascinated with the Bible my entire life, and have never read anything quite as unique and thought provoking as the author’s approach to Judas in this book. Royle takes you into the mind of Judas and makes him real, a misunderstood human, not a monster. After reading this, you may never view Judas the same. Not only was it very interesting, it was also very entertaining!
5 Stars - Hmm makes one think...
This is a short, thought provoking book. I enjoyed it and I will look at things somewhat different from here. Not sure how I feel but I intend to dwell on it some more.
