<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Joshua, "A parable for today" is the story of a quiet man, whose benevolence and selfless work in the community prompts amazement as well as suspicions.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Rooted in a scrupulously accurate reading of scripture, <i>Joshua</i> is a profoundly moving, deeply inspiring book that no reader will ever forget<i>.</i></b> <p/>Sometimes it happens. After two thousand years, the human race may be given a second chance. <p/>When Joshua moves to a small cabin on the edge of town, the local people are mystified by his presence. A quiet and simple man, Joshua appears to seek nothing for himself. He supports himself by working as a carpenter. He charges very little for his services, yet his craftsmanship is exquisite. The statue of Moses that he carves for the local synagogue prompts amazement as well as consternation. <p/>What are the townsfolk to make of this enigmatic stranger? Some people report having seen him carry a huge cherry log on his shoulders effortlessly. Still others talk about the child in a poor part of town who was dreadfully ill but, after Joshua's visit, recovered completely. <p/>Despite his benevolence and selfless work in the community, some remain suspicious. Finally, in an effort to address the community's doubts, Joshua is confronted by the local church leaders.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Father Joseph F. Girzone</b> retired from the active priesthood in 1986 for health reasons.
