My Donkey and the Master

When his father is killed in a construction accident, a young man is taken on as an apprentice by the, as of yet, unmarried Joseph of Nazareth. This begins a life-long association and friendship between the two men and old Jed, the young man’s donkey.
Share Joseph’s excitement as he and his father meet with Heli to make the arrangements for his betrothal to Mary. Feel with him his angst while Mary is gone for three months visiting her cousin, and then agonize with him his anguish when he learns she is with child. Endure with him the yo-yoing of emotions as his pondering of his next step is interrupted by Gabriel’s visit.
Saddle up and ride along to Bethlehem and then on the mad dash into Egypt to escape Herod. Join in the search for the missing child in Jerusalem. Eavesdrop on the conversations at the wedding in Cana and at the funeral of Lazarus. Meet old Jed’s progeny, especially during the triumphal entry and then again at the crucifixion. Join the disciples in the upper room when Mary Magdela announces the tomb has been opened and Jesus’ body isn’t there. Follow along with Peter and John in the rush to the tomb, and be in the upper room when Cleopas and the other disciple run back at night to tell of their walk with Yahushuah on the road to Emmaus. Watch with wide eyes as Yahushuah appears in a locked room and eats fish and honey before you.
