We know the story of Jesus through the words and perspectives of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. But what about Jesus’ own words, own thoughts, own perspectives? What if he’d written an autobiography, shared his story as seen through his own eyes? What if he’d stored it in a cave, like the Dead Sea Scrolls, and what if it had only now been discovered? This novel imagines just such a series of “what ifs.” Not a simple retelling of the gospel story, it’s an imaginative attempt to reconstruct what might have happened in the long periods of his life when Jesus is missing from the historical record, an attempt to depict what things might have looked like from his own perspective. If, like the author, you’ve been fascinated by this person more than by any other figure in history, you’ll enjoy imagining the possibilities in the pages within.
