PART II: PG-17 ADULT TEXT 18+ONLY. This story is an interpolation of the Biblical nativity and crucifixion reports. This is plausibly how Jesus grew up and was trained for his mission by his Father in heaven. Please read the other three novels in the "God Becomes Man" series first, in order to grasp the realistic settings and the pragmatic characters portrayed in this Gospel dramatization. You'll sense the meaning of "God is with us" and the full humanity of Jesus as God in the image of man, begotten out of heaven and captive in his own flesh. This most speculative and controversial of the four Gospel novels can help you to establish a more familiar bond with Jesus based on the flesh he shared with us. Although vulgarity is avoided, this novel depicts the learning adventures of growing up, with sexual exposures and experiences that are not recommended for children. With allusions as earthy as the Bible itself, parents should preview this novel before sharing it with their children.
