Ralph Jarrells interview 26 October 2023

Book Talk with Claire Harris

I’m talking to author Ralph E. Jarrells on Book Talk Radio Club. Ralph Jarrells entered the field of writing novels late in his life, he is in his late 70’s. He retired from corporate America many years ago and began an award-winning video production company that specialized in creating video programs for ministry and mission organizations. So far, his work has received twenty-eight international creative awards. His first novel Ill Gotten Gain was published in 2017 followed by Fiery Red Hair, Emerald Green Eyes & A Vicious Irish Temper which is the story of Anne Bonny, the first female pirate. He then wrote and published Jesus & Judas: Best Friends Forever and his most recently published book The Essential Last Supper. Whether or not one is a Christian, when The Last Supper is mentioned, inevitably the iconic painting by Leonardo da Vinci springs to mind. It has become a part of our collective consciousness. Created toward the end of the 15th century, da Vinci painted in the mode of the day, so while the beloved masterpiece is most certainly great art, it is not particularly good history. In fact, Leonardo got it all wrong. The question must be asked, was it intentional or did he have an ulterior motive? To listen in, please visit https://www.booktalkradio.info/ralph-jarrells
