Start the Journey with "Get Away Jordan"
When Jesus was baptized, God told him he was His son. Did he know this beforehand?
This was a very interesting way of imagining how Jesus Christ would have to learn about who He is. It was enjoyable to listen to and imagine what things were like in the time of Christ.
The historical part of this book was so familiar to me. The fictional part of these characters' lives were so well developed by the author! It was obvious that he is fully vested in his work by the way he presented the story! Totally recommend this book!
With a good flavor for time and place, McGregor explores what it might have been like for Jesus to understand and accept his role as Messiah. At times liberally imaginative, but with some real insight into an unknown period of Christ's prey ministry life.
We don't know much about the savior's years before his ministry began, but there is much that we can extrapolate or conjecture, This book is a fascinating nuanced possibility of the process that Jesus (Yeshu) might have gone through as he learned line upon line about his role as the Messiah....There are fascinating tie ins with Greek mythology and beautiful depictions of scenes that will open to your eyes to a world of possibilities.
