Category: Fiction

Using your imagination, turn back the calendar to the days when Jesus walked the earth. Walk with a small boy, physically abused by his father, as he makes his way to the market to purchase the day's ration of food. Stand with the owner of the market as he shows compassion for Hosiah and gives him more food than he has money for. Walk with Hosiah as he returns home, knowing another beating awaits him. Walk with him as he encounters a man named Jesus and must make the decision to go with Jesus or go home. Sit with the crowd as Jesus blesses the small amount of food purchased by Hosiah and feeds more than five thousand people. Go inside Hosiah's father as he struggles with the Holy Spirit and the deep-seated guilt. Journey between the covers of Hosiah's story to discover how the story ends.
