The Manifold Cross

Ever wonder what Jesus played with as a child? How did Mary love and protect her first-born son? Did Joseph have a job? What kind of father was Joseph to Jesus? These and other questions are answered in this story of one first-century family. Unlike other books about the culture and times of early biblical families, The Manifold Cross takes you inside the heart of a mother destined to raise an extraordinary child. You will meet strangers who opened their homes and lives to this small family and, strangers destined to protect a child born to be a king. Search your mind and heart to accept this story as just that-a story that could be true. Judi Wiley finds herself on a personal journey to know Jesus and His Disciples in a real-life way.
