Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Pinnacle of History through the Eyes of a Boy This spellbinding work of historical fiction offers the eyewitness account of 15-year-old James, son of Joseph bar Jacob, and the dangerous and heartrending choices his family must make in the days leading up to Joseph's relationship with Mary, and the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. With crisp prose, tangible description and thought-provoking insights, Before Bethlehem takes readers on a vivid journey to the dusty Galilean village of Nazareth, where Joseph is summoned by Rabbi Boethus, a Sadducean high priest, to marry an orphaned virgin in Jerusalem. By accepting the Rabbi's request, Joseph unknowingly thrusts himself and his family into a bitter and emotionally draining life-or-death conflict. Joseph fights to maintain his spiritual integrity while trying desperately to keep his family together and his farm alive. He and James witness abhorring violence at the hands of the Romans, and outlandish abuses of power by their own religious leaders. As his family's faith and hopes are threatened by scandal and scorn, James struggles between the boy he is and the man he must become. Before Bethlehem is an eye-opening account of the Nativity story told in a suspenseful, historical context that dares to ask the question: If Joseph should have turned Mary over to be stoned, why didn't he? His profound answer is one that forever changes the life of his son, James. And it may just change yours, as well.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Editorial Reviews 'The Baseball is written so fluently that I didn't want it to end. This story is built around family, the good times and the bad times, the happy times and the sad times. It's about how different people cope with pain differently and how good things can come out of things that may initially seem like the end of the world. I recommend this book for anyone who truly values family, making memories, and living life to the fullest.' - Manhattan Book Review (5-Star Review) ' The Baseball is a brief novel by James Flerlage about family and the quality time we choose to spend with them. The irony of Landon's fate-an oncologist whose son develops cancer-could have turned the story into one of bitterness and regret. Instead, it is an opportunity to revisit a time in a man's life when he must choose his family or his work. The author delivers the heart-wrenching plot in simple and crisp prose and without judgment andgives readers the opportunity to re-examine their own priorities in life.' - San Francisco Book Review (4-Star Review) 'An unusually affecting story. Overall, this is an earnest, unpretentious book that, despite overly deliberate grabs for the heartstrings, still manages to pluck them, all the same. A familiar tale, but one that has a melodramatic sincerity.' - Kirkus Reviews 'The plot of The Baseball is a well-developed hybrid of family and sports drama. It hits familiar plot beats and framing devices, but the work develops smoothly and evenly with quiet style. The author has a clear handle on storytelling and the unveiling of mystery; the sports focus and the manner in which it is integrated into the characters' lives is alluring.' - The BookLife Prize From the Back Cover Landon Myers is a retired pediatric oncologist who spends his days diagnosing the ills of his young grandchildren's stuffed animals while scheming up new ways to spend time with the older ones. When his thirteen-year-old granddaughter Lucy discovers an old Major League Baseball while cleaning his cellar, he faces the difficult task of exposing a family secret that has lain dormant for the past forty years. Over a long lunch with Lucy, Landon reveals that he was previously married, divorced, and had a son, Alex. Two years after his parents' bitter divorce, sixteen-year-old Alex receives devastating news that derails the course of his life. In a captivating story about family, relationships, and reconciliation, The Baseball begs the question, 'If life gave you a second chance, would you know what to do with it '.…
