About This Book

A young Galilean boy with a limp lives among lakeside villages and experiences daily market life, family relationships, and communal observances while witnessing events from the gospel accounts. The story interweaves vivid scenes of domestic routine, temple rites, and local festivals with the boy's friendships, small adventures, and moral development, presenting miracles, suffering, and resurrection through a child's viewpoint. Descriptions aim for historical detail to convey the customs and atmosphere of the period to young readers while keeping the narrative rooted in the protagonist's personal impressions and growth.
