Overview
Soon after the reader encounters a stargazing Joshua resting on a hillside, he is forced to flee his home, fearing for his life at the hands of his stepfather. At his mother's insistence, Joshua journeys to the spartan home of his reclusive and fearful uncle. Along the way, he encounters kind souls, a faithful canine companion and ill-intentioned scoundrels. While living a meager existence with his uncle, Joshua meets a band of sojourners led by a man they call Rabbi. Many say he is the Messiah. Despite the best efforts of these men to leave Joshua behind, he ultimately persuades them to allow him to accompany them on their travels.
The ensuing adventure follows the trials and tribulations faced by the early followers of Jesus. We are presented a clear-eyed portrayal of Jesus as a gentle, loving, problem-solver, healer and worker of miracles. All of this is viewed through the perspective of a young Samaritan boy who is on his own journey of maturity, faith and discovery.
Appropriate for young people or adults, believers and non-believers alike, the story is a drama-filled page turner. The rich descriptions of people and places ring true to the historical biblical times in which Joshua's tale unfolds.
