{"product_id":"the-carpenters-apprentice-9781589430662","title":"The Carpenter's Apprentice","description":"In this most unusual coming-of-age story, the boy Jesus becomes a man amid the ordinary and extra-ordinary people of his youth. He is twelve years' old, learning the family trade, in the small Judean town of Nazareth. He is not an ordinary youngster, but he lives a normal life as the eldest child in a bustling family. But even in rural Judea, the times are becoming more unsettled. Roman invaders, highway robbers, extortionate tax collectors, rabble-rousing zealots, and a religion that seems to have lost touch with the people, all threaten his world. On his family's visit to Jerusalem for the Passover and his bar-Mitzvah, these forces change his life. He sees and is seen, hears and is heard, and an unremarkable carpenter's apprentice from nowhere changes the future. Matt Price has created a world of real people acting from all the normal human motives. Whatever your faith, you will find this story human and fascinating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Americana Publishing, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/29\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781589430662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Matthew Price","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42077444309173,"sku":"9781589430662","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_6bb1969e-7074-46f1-aef8-6dcc3fa1858d.jpg?v=1650955696","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-carpenters-apprentice-9781589430662","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
