Publisher's Synopsis
Young John should be home, helping his dad catch fish from their boat. Instead, he's down by the river, hanging out with some crazy preacher they call the Baptist. So why is John calling himself a disciple? What happened that took this teenager away from home? And who is this "Lamb of God" the Baptist keeps talking about?
John and the Jesus Boat is set in the dangerous turmoil of First Century Palestine where people are yearning for their expected savior. They hope this savior will free them from the oppressive thumb of Rome.

For an up-close experience in the everyday lives of the men and women who walked with Jesus, the first episode of John and the Jesus Boat is a must-read triumph of historical fiction.
