Summary:
The lives of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus as envisioned by the Early Church Fathers and by Mystics and Visionaries are presented here in the form of a diary that Joseph and Mary might have kept. Based on stories well-known and even preached upon during the Early Church, the events of the Nativity are illuminated and give a more intimate look into the events that changed history forever. Nothing contained in Scripture is changed, rather, the opinions reached by the ancient voices on matters where Scripture is silent are offered for prayerful consideration.
Review:
Looking for a book the whole family can enjoy reading together? This novel is a fictional yet possible, unique look into the lives of Joseph and Mary. The story consists of diary entries beginning when they were children and ends right before Jesus’ public ministry. The author uses his imagination but also Catholic tradition and historical facts to create this fascinating story. This book provides a look into that period of history, making you ponder what life must have been like for these two faithful servants.

A note from Reviewer:
As a writer and a mother, I’m always searching for wonderful Christian books for teens of all ages. I truly believe one way we can encourage teens in their faith is through fiction with positive messages, embedded in great stories. There are many fantastic Christian and Catholic teen novels out today but they can be hard to find. I’m excited to share some of these books with you.
