Book Synopsis
Life was hard for the Jewish people in ancient Israel.
The Roman Empire ruled with an iron fist. The Jewish religion had been reduced to an unforgiving system of laws, rules, and traditions. The prophets had promised Israel that one day it would have a King who would rule it and the world. However, for the past four hundred years, heaven had been silent.
Into this world, two lambs were born. One would change the life of a little girl. The Other would change the lives of all mankind.
Join us as we travel from the pastures of ancient Bethlehem up to the little town of Nazareth and become a part of the family of Jesus.
Meet:
-Bekka, a twelve-year-old shepherd girl who would defy the Roman army to protect her lamb.
-Jeremiah, who became as good with a hammer and chisel as he was with a shepherd's staff and a slingshot.
-Justin, a retired Roman army veteran who years later, when he needed a carpenter to make some furniture and doors, had his life changed.
