From a one-room Sunday school class—the lesson that’s been downloaded over 8,000 times in 54 countries—comes A Rooster Once Crowed, A Commentary on the Greatest Story Ever Told.
We live in those few moments between the first and the second crow of the rooster: between decision and indecision, between knowing and being known. But do you even care?
Small decisions made today establish our path for all time, and yet we piddle with a piece of this and a taste of that. We diet on wisdom from antiquity and gorge on culture that is next month's joke.
This story is an opportunity to gorge on Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, in context. It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ and an opportunity to see for yourself what it actually is, rather than what we mold it to be, and to finally choose whether or not to care.
Through small stories and a modern context, this book will help you understand and decide what you believe about the greatest story ever told.

From the Author
My prayer is that you read this book, or maybe just start it.
If you love it or have a problem with it, or underline a sentence to ask your preacher or priest or rabbi about something you read in it, this book has done its job. The Gospel is the greatest story ever told. As far as I'm concerned, there is no other story and we've checked the box on it.
We've decided I believe this part, or I know something about that part. So there it sits, on the shelf; decided. For belief, that may be enough.
But to BELIEVE requires action, movement and momentum. To say you believe in the Gospel means knowing it, wrestling with it and making decisions daily based upon it. You may be familiar with it, but does it move you? When is the last conversation you had about the Gospel? Are institutions you establish-your home, relationships, your teams, your department-based upon it?
This book is about moving the Gospel back into the conversation. It's about using these few moments we have, between the first and second crow of the rooster, to answer the question, "What do I believe?"
From the Inside Flap
"A Rooster Once Crowed helped me understand the Gospel more clearly and love our Savior more dearly. Bryant has shown a new facet to the diamond which is the Gospel and readers will see the beauty of Jesus and His loving sacrifice in a way that will change the lives of new believers and committed Christians." - Len Sykes, Reflections Ministries, Atlanta Georgia "A Rooster Once Crowed is a study which is broad in scope, accessible to seekers and - from my perspective as a Messianic Jewish rabbi - sensitive to the nuances of Yeshua (Jesus). Take your time with this material. You won't be disappointed." *- Rabbi Richard Nichol, Needham, Massachusetts "My friend Bryant Cornett has crafted a compelling way to tell the old old story by integrating a wide variety of scriptures with illustrations and narratives that press for a decision. This story speaks to the mind, the heart and the will reminding us that revelation requires a response."* - Dr. Ken Boa, author, Atlanta, Georgia "This book is for building disciples. If you want to be one or are building them, read this book." *- Jerry Leachman, former chaplain for the Washington Redskins, Washington, DC.*
