The Room by Joshua Harris

One night in 1995, while visiting Puerto Rico for a Billy Graham crusade, I had a very powerful dream. I recorded it in the form of a story and named it The Room. I had no idea then how far the story of my dream would circulate.

The article was orginally published in New Attitude magazine in 1995, and then reprinted in a chapter of my book I Kissed Dating Goodbye in 1997. It touches on the universal themes of guilt and redemption. How does a man find forgiveness for the wrongs he's committed or for the good he's left undone? Is our past something we can leave behind or forget? How can any of us know true forgiveness from a God who is holy and just?

Joshua Harris *did* write it. Then were some stories going around about who did, but Joshua stated himself that he is indeed the author. I don't think he's lying--or that he would lie about something like that.

this is so over whelming to watch. you know all of it, but it still hits right to my heart. praise the Lord for His infinite mercy and love. why are we afraid to speak up of what He did for us? Why aren't we telling everyone we meet of this amazing love, that they can share in?? the time is short. And Jesus deserves so much more then what I give day to day.

Praise the Lord! Thank you for working such a work in Josh so that he could remind others of the work You will do or are doing in our lives!!!!

Does anyone know where I can get a high quality copy of this video? We would like to use it one weekend at our church. Thanks!

@bluetube23 Actually I think it was first published in a magazine in 1995 (two years before the book actually came out). In the 2010 copy of "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" he says as much,

@StrumstickJoe (reply #2) ..I, personally, would never give my heart or my life to something that was false. Due to my nature, I don't just "accept" whatever. But through experience and proving them to be true I have found that 1) Jesus is real! 2) He is powerful! 3) He loves you and me!! These three things have tested true over and over again.

Honestly, after seeing these things I can't deny His reality, His power or His love. But I can choose to accept or refuse Him. That's all one can do. : )

@StrumstickJoe I appreciate your concern for others, however, I am simply sharing my own experiences with you! :) I HAVE seen Jesus' healing power. I personally have been healed of a chronic illness no medicine could cure (yes I have doc.s to prove that) and seen M.S. healed, blind people seeing, deaf hearing, limbs growing out, dead babies/people coming back to life (and this is just things I've experienced). Doctors said my sister was never going to walk and she's walking right now! :D .....

@dieKoninginderNacht 1) (2nd attempt to reply) Look up supernatural… it never happens. Ethical behaviour occurs because humans, like other races, evolved with aversion to killing each other. God didn’t move anyone to tears! This smooth conman did!

I too have health issues. Why? Where’s the perfection of design? (99% of all the species that have ever existed have become extinct)

JC never existed, and…

[StrumstickJoe]

@dieKoninginderNacht 2)… even if he had, no miracles, no divinity was ever shown. Only faith and belief survives in your mind from that terrible, violent, Iron Age existence, but we have moved on, and those days should now only be historical curiosity.

Nobody needs this imaginary friend. His book is an anthology of mythology: contradictory; largely vindictive; containing more than one god; genocide, mutilation and an overriding immorality.

My aim is to spread this information.

Peace.

@sapnyosentry You talkin' to me?

[dieKoninginderNacht]

@StrumstickJoe ..Don't believe in the supernatural? The supernatural happens everyday, even something common, like ethics. :) And your comments contain ethics. However, if you mean, don't believe in the BIG supernatural, then that too happens everyday around the world. I personally, am a walking miracle that Jesus healed! :D And if God has moved someone to tears, it's because He touched their heart with His enormous love!! He can supernaturally move in your life too, that is, if you want Him to.
