This is a Christian novel about the early years of Jesus's life. It is not a book for beginners. It is for those of us who have heard the story many times and consider it a beautiful story but wonder now and then if it really did happen. If Jesus was, in fact, "the Word made flesh," did he grow up like other boys? Using the biblical accounts and reliable archeological discoveries, Bob Libby tells a creditable story of a young Jewish boy growing into the reality of what God had created him to do and to be.
