Overview

Continue to follow along in the story of Jesus' Silent Years as He reaches the lowest point in His life. He hits bottom. He's imprisoned and sexually abused in a Roman dungeon. He learns to mourn and fight new battles, within and without. Claudia, the friend who adores him and who he loves, is exiled in the Adriatic. She follows a parallel course of growing through suffering while longing for Jesus. Both continue to mature by failing, falling, and then rising again, stronger. In Jesus' Silent Years: Parable Jesus matures through temptation, doubt, and longing. He follows the classic path of the hero-beginning in an unremarkable mudhole, unknown and undistinguished, innocent and nave, in Foundations. He steadily moves down into the mainstream of growing up- leaving home, wrestling with his own unique God-man identity. Suffering and loss carve out an interior life for him, in Parable and Journey. Finally, he shows us all how to listen to the world of spirit-adorned with the jewels of wisdom, compassion, and courageous vulnerability-in Homecoming.
