With a style as simple and elegant as the parables themselves, Kenny Kemp reintroduces these celebrated stories, setting them as the formative experiences of the young man Jeshua bar Joseph, whom we know today as Jesus of Nazareth.Jeshua, an unassuming young carpenter from Nazareth, lives his life like everyone else. He learns from his own experiences, the traditions of his people, and by inspiration of God. He soon proves to be a man of courage and integrity, a hard worker, a devoted son.
