I was truly impressed with this amazing account of Jesus’ missing, yet apparently formative years. Although a work of fiction, the author does such a great job of putting Jesus into context; almost making this story a possibility.Referred to as ‘Joshua of Nazareth’ by the author, you follow the early years of Jesus, taking an incredibly interesting look at what shaped and molded him into the great man he became.I have read a lot of alternate history novels before but I don’t recall ever reading one about Jesus; which makes this all the more interesting and somewhat special. The author ‘Derek Miller’ opens with his own curiosity for what ‘Joshua’ did for the 18 years that seem to not have been documented; and so the story begins.Overall this was a good read, however I don’t feel it is worthy of 5 stars. Some parts seem drawn out more than others making it slightly boring in places. That said, it’s still worth reading and quite enjoyable.
