After running away from his father's tents in a moment of anger, ten-year-old Jotham has lost his way, and his family. As he journeys through Palestine in search of his nomadic home, Jotham is helped by a fool, a priest, a zealot and a wise man. Chased by a gang of thieves, thrown from one "foster parent" to another, Jotham slowly discovers the miracle of the first Christmas, and some miraculous things about his own life and family.
Written as a devotional for parents to read to their children during Advent, Jotham's Journey unfolds day by day until the exciting climax on Christmas. Each day's installment of the story is followed by a short devotional which will challenge your family to share in Jotham's discoveries.
"We started reading Jotham's Journey when my son was 9 and my daughter was 4. They are now 19 and 14!"
