Mari is a cat surviving by her claws on the fringes of the Judean desert. Yeshua is a man with healing hands, seeking solitude in the wastes beyond Qumran. Their paths cross when Yeshua rescues her from wild dogs and carries her to safety in his arms. An extraordinary friendship grows up between them, and when he leaves the desert she rides with him, his closest companion, hidden in a sling beneath his robe. Mari tells Yeshua's story from a cat's eye view-hours spent curled against his heart, comforted by the rise and fall of his breast, sometimes singed by the fires of his healing as he transforms the very elements of Earth. Her greathearted love opens her to an un-catlike awareness of the future, tormenting her with fear for Yeshua as well as dread of her own loneliness. In the end, all roads lead to Jerusalem, and Mari experiences depths of wonder unsuspected by those caught up in the tumult around her. Here's what readers are saying: "Imagine if the author of Watership Down had written The Shack " "For the first time, I finally understand what the point, the power, and the beauty of "he is risen" is about - hey, it only took 50 years and a cat to translate " "A delightful combination of simplicity and deep theological insight." "The words left the pages and entered my heart, soul and spirit. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful."

Sometimes admitting you know nothing is the only way to see what you do know. Retired college professor C. L. Francisco's faith reemerged several years ago after a time of struggle and radical doubt. A Southern Baptist childhood, a liberal college education in the midst of late 60's protest movements, a year at Swiss L'Abri, several years as an art therapist in an inner city psychiatric unit, and a PhD in world religions all contributed to the confusion of her early life. But as a woman whose life had always been grounded in faith, she determined to begin her search anew. Oddly enough, it was the voice of non-human nature that spoke most clearly-that and a stubborn attachment to C. S. Lewis' fiction. The whispers were faint at first, and often resulted in dead ends, but when they finally spoke clear, she found herself in the presence of the Christ who lives beyond all walls. The Gospel According to Yeshua's Cat emerged from Francisco's desire to offer fellow strugglers a fresh perspective on Jesus of Nazareth. The book's feline narrator speaks with the wise voice of a young cat whose death after a devastating wildfire provided Francisco with the impetus to begin the book.
