In ancient Galilee, his mother Mary called him Yeshua.

Yeshua: The Young Jesus of Nazareth tells the story of the early years (3-28 C.E.) in the life of Jesus. We follow his growth through childhood, family life before and after the death of Joseph, teen years, and young adulthood as the head of his family. Later chapters cover meeting John the Baptizer, and the beginning stages of his ministry in Capernaum. The novel brings history to life - people, culture, religion, and events of Jesus' time - based on historical studies, ancient pre-gospel writings of the early Christian church, and recent religious literature.

This book offers new insights to understand the person called Yeshua and those closest to him: his parents, four brothers, two sisters, relatives from the families of Clopas and Zebedee, and his fellow Nazarenes. In the fishing village of Capernaum, the mature Yeshua assembles a group of disciples and supporters. Key among them are the twelve apostles, and also many influential women, including Mary Magdalene and Joanna. This novel portrays their lives with candor, respect, and affection.

Industry Reviews

"Recommended" -Kirkus Reviews

"This is a readable look at Yeshua for both religious readers and others who simply want to learn more about one of the most well-known historical figures of all time. Thorough research animates an important part of pre-biblical history." -Kirkus Reviews

"Before Jesus Christ became the Jesus of the Bible, he lived the life of a shepherd, not unlike other boys and young men in Nazareth. That's the core of Jaksa's often compelling work of historical fiction, which looks at the early years of Yeshua ... from 8 to his early 30s." -Kirkus Reviews

"The prose is straightforward and clear, and Jaksa uses a variety of sources to bring Yeshua's story to life ..." -Kirkus Reviews

"In addition to being exceptionally gentle, Yeshua is portrayed as a happy boy and young man, wise beyond his years, interested in learning, and a faithful follower of his religion. We're told of the death of Yosef when Yeshua is just 16, holiday pilgrimages the family makes to Jerusalem, and Yeshua's burgeoning career as a healer and preacher." -Kirkus Reviews

"It's a side of Yeshua not often seen in texts, with some moments foreshadowing well-known biblical events ..." -Kirkus Reviews

"Our verdict: Get it." -Kirkus Reviews
