Author Description

The time: 20 centuries ago. Jesus has just burst upon the scene. But a 14-year old boy doesn't care. He's despondent because his father died when he was a child; he's despondent because he was born with a withered hand. He's become a drunkard and a thief... He knows that if he's caught, they could cut off his hands or put out his eyes... but he doesn't care... until he has a life-changing, dramatic encounter with the Christ that changes his life. When Jesus heals him, the young man is renewed, he now has something to live for, he turns away from liquor and stealing. But the people in his town have turned away from him; they don't believe he's met Jesus; they don't believe his hand has been healed, Through a series of increasingly hostile confrontations, the townspeople call him a blasphemer, then stone him. The boy seems to be dead, but a surprise awaits everyone in this uplifting, exciting, and fascinating tale of redemption!
