Jesus of Nazareth: The Greatest Story Never Told (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781630506179)

For thirty years, Jesus lived an obscure life in Nazareth. With few exceptions, there is little known about this time period. I have taken the liberty to contemplate what those years were like for Jesus and His parents. How did His birth affect Mary and Joseph? What was everyday life like in this little town in Galilee? Did Jesus have any friends, did He go to school, and did Joseph teach Him to be a carpenter? What was His relationship with these two loving parents who must have wondered where all of this was going? This is a work of fiction but it is also a spiritual journey for me and I hope for you. Spend some time contemplating The Greatest Story Never Told. It may move you as much as it did me in writing it.

Jim lives in the Adirondack Mts. of Northern New York State. He and his wife, Lynn, spend summers on Seventh Lake and winters in Tupper Lake. Spending time with their children and grandchildren is one of the joys of retirement for both of them. Jim taught history in middle school in Saranac Lake for thirty-six years and was an ordained Deacon for the Diocese of Ogdensburg for thirty-one years. He has presented days of reflection in numerous parishes over those years and it is through his devotion to God and his love of history that he wrote this book.
