This is a wonderful book. It's one that you can put down once you have started.
This book is so deep and so good, but it did take me a while to read the whole book.
Joshua, a Christian fiction also out on DVD and Video... is a fast read...You won't want to put the book down once you start to read. I really enjoyed the book much better than the movie.
{From the back of the book...}
When Joshua moves to a small cabin on the edge of twon, the local people are mystified by his presence. A quiet and simple man, Joshua appears to seek nothing for himself. He supports himself by working as a carpenter. He charges very little for his services, yet his craftsmanship is exquisitic. The statue of Moses that he carves for the local synagogue prompts amazement as well as consternation.
What are the townsfolk to make of this enigmatic stranger? Some people report having seen him carry a huge cherry log on his shoulders effortlessly. Still others talk about the child in a poor part of town who was dreadfully ill but, after Joshua's visit, recovered completely.
Dispite his benevolence and selfless work in the community, some remain suspicious. Finally, in an effort to address the community's doubts, the local religious leaders comfront Joshua.
