Jesus' Silent Years Volume 4

Description:


Follow along in the story of Jesus’ Silent Years in this final chapter of the
hero’s development as His suffering finally pays off He’s survived starvation, plague, and prison. He’s taken his friends for an air-walk above a castle wall. Now join Jesus as He travels to Egypt by way of Rhodes. After some time there, he returns home the same way he did as a boy from Egypt. Jesus and Claudia, the friend who adores him and who he loves, walk with Windy through a firestorm. They watch the next emperor of Rome, Caligula, get skinned alive, and then healed. In the Negev, Jesus produces water from a rock, like Moses of yesteryear. He discovers a seed from Joseph, left in a jar in a mountainside, not unlike what was later found in the Qumran cliffs. He plants this seed above the hollow of his own grave, from which he will later rise. Claudia is called home to be married to Pontii, who will be reassigned by Tiberius to Israel and renamed Pontius Pilate.In Jesus’ Silent Years: Parable Jesus matures through temptation, doubt, and longing. He follows the classic path of the hero—beginning in an unremarkable mudhole, unknown and undistinguished, innocent and naïve, in Foundations. He steadily moves down into the mainstream of growing up— leaving home, wrestling with his own unique God-man identity. Suffering and loss carve out an interior life for him, in Parable and Journey. Finally, he shows us all how to listen to the world of spirit—adorned with the jewels of wisdom, compassion, and courageous vulnerability—in Homecoming.
