From the Back Cover
Mr Butterfield, the carpenter, would really like the troublesome young boy to go away. He has serious work to do - carving a new Jesse tree inside the church. But the boy is curious and persistent. In order to explain his carving, Mr Butterfield begins retelling the great stories from the Bible that he knows and loves so much. As he does so, and in spite of his short temper, small miracles begin to happen.
