JESUS: The Silent Years
The accounts of Jesus' young life leave a gap of eighteen years in His New Testament story. Christian tradition suggests that He simply lived in Galilee during that period, while modern scholarship holds that there is little historical information to determine what happened during those years. St. Matthew poses a revealing "Is not this the carpenter's son?" to suggest that carpentry had been a family business and Jesus was engaged in it before starting His preaching and ministry. This novel, a work of fiction, follows Jesus as he visits all of the synagogues in the country, learning as much as he can about the people he is chosen to redeem. The years between thirteen and thirty are eventful and memorable for most of us. What must they have been like for the Son of God?

This book is amazing!
It's not often that I do a book review. However, I must say this book is one that I would read over and over again. Whether or not you believe in God, the book is both relaxing and engaging. You feel like you're part of the story. For Christians, there is certainly a unique perspective! Even though the book is fictional, it's interesting to imagine how Jesus' life could have been. We don't know much about his silent years, but whether people believe in him or not, I hope most people will enjoy this book anyway. I do recommend this book to everyone, but for people who have no interest in religion or supernatural themes, this book may not be for you. I still think you should try reading the book at least once.
