Book Overview
Action, suspense and excitement await you as you step into the long-ago world of Nazareth in a land crushed by the boot of imperial Rome. This is the world of a young boy called Yeshua, wise, strong, and independent far beyond his twelve years.
Follow his adventures into the limestone hills that surround his town with its myriad of mysterious caves and fascinating places to explore.
You’ll be at his side as he tries to save the life of a shepherd who has fallen and lies hurt on the narrow ledge of a steep cliff.
Your skin will crawl when he single-handedly faces a ferocious wild beast.
Cheer him on as he and his friend run the school’s annual footrace with near disastrous results.
You’ll applaud as he thwarts two notorious bandits’ plans to kidnap the Rabbi’s young sons.
Who was he? When you find out, you will realize why he was no ordinary boy. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Yeshua's determination and special light shine brilliantly
No Ordinary Boy is an impressively written novel for young adult readers by Jack Jacobson which is set in Biblical times. Telling the story of a twelve-year-old boy Yeshua (who is smart, strong, wise, and independent far beyond his twelve years of age) this is a story of his battles with a wild beast, his foiling a plot to kidnap the Rabbi's young sons. Yeshua's determination and special light shine brilliantly, and the revelation of Yeshua's true nature is the crux of this powerfully original and highly recommended story.
