Book 1: A Long Time Ago in Galilee
A4 paperback book, 92pp
Jesus, an odd-job man, leaves his mother in Galilee and goes off in search of his cousin John the Baptiser. As he rubs shoulders with all kinds of people and shares his life with them, we witness Jesus’ growing realisation that he is being called to announce God’s Kingdom, and we see Jesus’ extraordinary power to attract people to himself and to touch their hearts. Book One ends with the wedding celebrations at Cana.
£8.99 each
Book 2: A Village Prophet
A4 paperback book, 104pp
Jesus befriends outcasts and teaches about, and acts out, God’s love for the poor, the sick, lepers, prostitutes, drunks, etc. Jesus challenges everyone to do the same as himself, but people find his teaching hard to accept. Even his friends and followers get annoyed with some of his ideas, but Jesus remains firm, patiently teaching them to see the world as God sees it, sometimes through wonderful storytelling.

Book 3: Our Daily Bread
A4 paperback book, 88pp
Jesus tells his friends and anyone who will listen about God the ‘Big-Hearted Father’. He shows the people how nothing is impossible to God, healing the sick, forgiving sins, and raising the dead to life. Jesus teaches the fisherfolk how to pray simply and directly to God, and the book ends with Jesus and twelve of his followers preparing to go up to Jerusalem together to celebrate the Jewish festival of Passover.
