an historical fiction novel
by Keith H. McGregor
When Jesus was baptized, God told him he was His son. Did he know this beforehand?
Seeing signs that he might be the long-awaited Mashiach, Yeshueh ben Yousef travels to Jordan to find out if his mother's prophecy about him might be true. Getting cold feet at the last moment, however, he camps out in the desert just short of the river. There are signs enough in his life, but massive reasons for doubt as well. While he ponders his future, highwaymen pursue him in the night. From the other side of the river, friends go out in search of him. Who will reach the camp first? If he is spared, what will he decide?
