Simon bar Eleazer has a promising career as a Pharisee before him-but it's one he doesn't want. The older he gets, the more Simon finds himself disagreeing with his Pharisee father's interpretation of the Law, especially where Gentiles are concerned, and he wishes that he could find some way to reconcile the matter-especially since Simon has a secret his father doesn't know about. But when Simon's estranged uncle reappears in Jerusalem, Simon finds himself wondering if his uncle's new religion holds the answers to his questions. But will he ever get a chance to ask him? With arrests, imprisonments, arguments, and a desperate search for a miracle, Simon finds himself traveling farther than he'd ever dreamed, searching not just for answers but a whole new life. Explore the world of 50-60s AD Jerusalem in this work of historical fiction for ages 13 and up.
