In ancient Galilee, his mother Mary called him Yeshua.
Yeshua: The Young Jesus of Nazareth tells the story of the early years (3-28 C.E.) in the life of Jesus. We follow his growth through childhood, family life before and after the death of Joseph, teen years, and young adulthood as the head of his family. Later chapters cover meeting John the Baptizer, and the beginning stages of his ministry in Capernaum. The novel brings history to life - people, culture, religion, and events of Jesus' time - based on historical studies, ancient pre-gospel writings of the early Christian church, and recent religious literature.
This book offers new insights to understand the person called Yeshua and those closest to him: his parents, four brothers, two sisters, relatives from the families of Clopas and Zebedee, and his fellow Nazarenes. In the fishing village of Capernaum, the mature Yeshua assembles a group of disciples and supporters. Key among them are the twelve apostles, and also many influential women, including Mary Magdalene and Joanna. This novel portrays their lives with candor, respect, and affection.
