About this title

Synopsis

Adventurous, funny and moving kids'-eye view of the first Christmas - aimed at 8-12s, sneakily enjoyed by adults!

Jamie had BIG dreams. He wanted to be a prince. He wanted his dad to marry a lovely young woman called Mary. He wanted an army of little brothers and sisters who would look up to him and think how clever and important he was.
But at no point did he expect one of them to be a long-awaited king, destined to reign forever. Nope. Not part of the plan...

JOSEPH'S BOY is the first book of The Young Testament, a fun, accessible series of Middle Grade novels on the Jesus story, with the children as the main characters.

Wonderfully uplifting to read aloud as a family, for Advent or over the festive season. Great to enjoy on your own too, whether you’re young or old(er).
Make it a new part of your Christmas tradition – or grab some awe-inspiring sparkle at any time of the year!

JOSEPH'S BOY is ideal for the young readers in your life to:

immerse themselves in the joys and dangers of the Christmas story as it unfolds, as if they were right there
discover how the plans on God’s heart come together at Jesus’s birth, as they explore ancient prophecies from the viewpoint of the preteen protagonists
dig deeper into the culture, history and geography of the First Century in a way that is exciting, entertaining and relevant
learn more about core beliefs of Christianity, simply presented and easy to understand whether the Bible is already familiar to them or completely new. Also some of the key feasts and practices of Temple Judaism – a perfect complement to their school studies on World Religions

The Young Testament series of full-length Bible retellings can be read out of order or even on their own, but together they overlap to form one big story world showing life at the time of Jesus.
JOSEPH'S BOY covers the birth and childhood, while JAIRUS'S GIRL follows the Galilee side of the grown-up Jesus and THAT WOMAN'S GIRL is set in Samaria - an outsider's take on Jesus! Next up is MIRIAM'S BOY, the Jerusalem view of the Jesus story.
