The Nazarene: Narrow Gate
EVERYONE WANTS TO MAKE HIM KING.
You know the miracles. You know the sermons. You know where the road ends.
You have never watched him build the twelve.
The Jordan runs brown to a wild man's knees. At thirty, Yeshua enters the river wearing his mother's cloak and comes out looking for twelve ordinary men who can carry a kingdom without turning it into a throne.
Fishermen. A tax collector. A zealot with no knife on his belt. A Judean who keeps the purse and needs the count to come out even.
He repairs sandals, sets a boy's ankle, mends a torn net, and feeds five thousand on a hillside. Each time the road tries to name him king, he hands them bread and walks the other way.
His mother waits on a porch. Ten women choose their own roads. A blind beggar sees the council before the council sees him.
This is the novel of the crowded years. Lakeshores and shut synagogues. A storm with an empty oar. A man who could have been king teaching twelve slow learners how to refuse a crown.
Narrow Gate is Book Three of The Nazarene Saga.
