description: An historical novel of a human Jesus who uses illusion and deception to persuade his followers that he teaches truth. Convinced that he delivers the word of God, given to him by his father Joseph and through "little whispers", Jesus discovers that the Jews ignore his preaching. They have been warned to beware false prophets, and that true ones can be recognized only by their miracles and fulfillment of prophecies. To get them to accept the truth of his revelations, he allows his followers to give him credit for miracles he did not perform. But as he relies more and more on deception, he slowly slips deeper and deeper into sin. . . . The author blends historical facts with the Biblical account to make a vivid and compelling portrayal of Jesus, not as God, but as a man -- a prophet -- who is desperately trying to teach others the importance of his revelations.
