Joshua: A Parable for Today - Used Book

Sometimes it happens. After two thousand years, the human race may be given another chance...

When Joshua moves to a small cabin on the edge of town, the local people are at first mystified, then confused by his presence. A quiet and simple man, Joshua appears to seek nothing for himself. He supports himself solely by carpentry and woodworking; and he charges very little for his services. Yet his work is exquisite. A statue of Moses he carves for a synagogue causes amazement and consternation. His carvings of the apostle Peter-one for the town's Episcopal church, another for a Pentecostal congregation-surprise the pastors and members of both groups. Neither is what they expected. Both are haunting.

What sort of person is Joshua? How can the townspeople explain a few rumors about him? Some people report seeing him carry a huge oak log on his shoulders. Effortlessly. And others talk about the child in a poor part of town who was dreadfully ill. After Joshua's visit, she recovered immediately.

Yet the woodcarver Joshua disturbs some of his neighbors. While he quietly and lovingly urges all around him to break down the walls that separate them, there are others who are frightened of him. Finally, some church leaders confront him...

Here is a profoundly moving, deeply inspiring book that no reader will ever forget. Already, Joshua has been called "life-changing," "engrossing,"

"inspiring," "entertaining." Based on a scrupulously accurate reading of scripture, Joshua has universal appeal and is a true exercise in spirituality.

Once you've read it, you'll want everyone you love to read it, too.
