What if Jesus was just an ordinary boy seeking enlightenment? Read the mesmerizing novel that others have called "life-changing" and "divinely inspired." 8 AD, at the Temple of Jerusalem. Charismatic young Yeshua thrills his audience when God seems to communicate through him. While his listeners gush, not everyone is impressed. The priests scoff and say that no carpenter, however wise, can ever enter their holy ranks. Humiliated and robbed of his only dream, Yeshua resigns to a drab life as a laborer and even agrees to marry the wealthy maiden his father has chosen for him. One day, when a Buddhist pilgrim invites Yeshua along to the magical country Sindh, where anyone can become a monk, an irresistible portal of hope opens. Torn between duty and following his bliss, Yeshua must choose between keeping his promise to his father or selfishly chasing his dream and bringing everlasting shame upon his family. If you enjoy spiritual, thought-provoking fiction like The Celestine Prophecy or The Alchemist, and have ever wondered if Jesus did travel in India, you will love this riveting, deeply moving novel.
