Description

When Joshua, a tall, handsome carpenter and woodcarver, moves to a small cabin on the edge of Auburn, he becomes the focus of much speculation. His craftsmanship is masterful - but how, people wonder, can he live on the little he charges for it? Can he really carry huge oak logs on his shoulders without much effort? Did he really heal a poor, ill child simply by taking her in his arms? And what prompts his message of reconciliation and unity between Catholic and Protestant, Christian and Jew? Before long the Vatican takes notice of Joshua's activities and asks hi8m to appear before a Church tribunal in Rome. Good for grade 7 and up.
