The Book of Jotham
by Arthur Powers
No reviews yet. Be the first.
Second edition. Winner of the 2012 Tuscany Prize for Novella! Jotham is a mentally challenged man-child who, like the other apostles, follows Jesus as Christ carries out his ministry and experiences death by crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. Yet the other apostles the dedicated Mary, Peter, Thomas, and the rest while they care for Jotham and look out for him, don't understand why Jesus loves him so. Thomas even says, after Jesus offers a parable, I don't see why all the pots can't be strong and beautiful. Jotham may be different, but through him, we come to see Jesus and Jotham not just with our eyes, but also with our hearts.
