Historical Fiction of a boy living in the days before Christ's Baptism

 

 An exciting work, looking at the events surrounding the times of John the Baptist when some in Israel were on the tiptoe of expectation, awaiting the long-promised Messiah.
This fictional account gives the flavour of life in those days, viewed through the eyes and experiences of a young Galilean boy, and provides many unexpected insights into the scriptural record.

 

 

"Father, is there always an answer for
every question?"
Ammiel considered. "No," he said finally. Not for now, anyway."
"Why not?" Dan dared to ask, holding himself very still, as he felt again that slow, new, faint stirring of awareness within. Answer!
But every new answer only provokes more questions as Dan gropes for understanding-about himself, his family, his nation and his faith.
