Description

In this fictional tale, Titus is a young teenager living in Roman-occupied Judea at the time of Jesus Christ, who witnesses the teachings and sacrifice of the Son of God. A moving and eloquent story inspired by the canon of the New Testament, we join our young protagonist ? a teenage boy of Greek descent ? in the weeks leading up to Christ's arrival in the city of Judea. He leads an active and energetic around a city whose character and atmosphere are evocatively described, but also has a show more younger crippled brother to care for. Gradually, the importance of Jesus and the lessons he has come to the fore. Initially, his mother is skeptical that a prophet would pay any notice to a community as marginal as the Greek. However, not only is Jesus keen to dispense his wisdom to all people without exception, he is also a man of immense spiritual power, healing the sick and giving sight to the blind between sermons. The significance of Christ's presence however attracts the attention of the Roman garrison. show less
