Waldo Maccabees. In the Footsteps of Christ.: Annotated

By Tom Jones

What if Jesus had a dog? A dog that trotted along beside Him from Capernaum to Calvary? A dog that understood far more than any of the disciples? A dog that would protect Him with his life if he felt it was necessary? What difference would this have made in the lives of Jesus and the disciples?

Those questions are answered in Waldo Maccabees, In the Footsteps of Christ. What's more, through meticulous research and over 150 detailed footnotes in this special Annotated edition of the popular novel, the author sheds even further light on familiar biblical tales, offering a fresh perspective and a deeper understanding.

Did you know. . .

. . . that the only time Jesus was bested in an argument it was over a dog? A pet dog? And that that argument directly changed the course of both His ministry and history forever?

. . . that the "Mark of Cain" was believed by some early rabbis to actually be the dog that was given to Cain by God to defend him when he was banished from Eden?

. . . that while the Old Testament routinely condemns dogs, the Hebrew word for dog, kelev, can literally be translated as "close to the heart"?

. . . that the Mishnah declares that dogs were specifically singled out by an Angel as merited to be allowed to both pray and sing songs of praise to God?

. . . that the odds of Jesus perfectly fulfilling just eight of the prophecies found in the Old Testament is 1 in 10,000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000-yet it is conservatively estimated that He fulfilled at least 300 prophecies in His earthly ministry?

You'll learn all that and more in dozens of pages of 150 detailed notes in the Annotated Version of Waldo Maccabees, In the Footsteps of Christ And that's just a bonus to the original heart-warming (and at times, heart-breaking) story of Jesus' dog.
