The Potter’s Son

About the Book

What would it be like to meet Jesus in real life? Twenty-first century tweens and young teenagers usually answer that question in one or two words, such as “Great!” or “Huh?” or “Who knows?” Aaron, a young Jewish boy in first-century Israel, discovers a different answer in The Potter’s Son. His journey takes him from his small fishing village south of Capernaum to Jerusalem and many places in between. He sees how different people react to Jesus’ message of love and gradually forms his own opinion.
