Jairus's Girl

The kids have taken over the Jesus story!

Twelve-year-old Tammie's life in a quiet fishing town would never be the same. Her future wasn't looking good (understatement!) but things quickly went from bad to WICKED with the arrival of a strange grown-up with nice eyes.

And as for the business with Daniel's lunch, or Dibs's roof...

 

Using humour, historical and cultural context, evocative description and snappy dialogue, JAIRUS'S GIRL covers the whole Galilee side of the Gospel, bringing in all the detail found in the Bible, but as one sweeping, fictionalised story. It's Book Two of The Young Testament, a fun, accessible series of full-length books about the life and ministry of Jesus and beyond, with the children and young people as the main characters.
