Description
As a fisherman's son, Philo looks forward to being old enough to work on the boats with his father. Philo is eager to be away from home and especially away from his sister, Illyrica. She is possessed by a demon, and a shadow seems to hang over the whole house. When Philo's uncle visits from Capernaum, he tells them of a prophet who performs miracles and heals the sick. Illyrica gets hysterical when her uncle says the prophet's name: Jesus. Philo's family has little hope of Illyrica ever being healed. What is more powerful than evil? Finally, Philo can stand it no longer, so he runs away to Capernaum to live with his uncle. Galilee is buzzing with tales of Jesus' miracles, but are the stories true? Who is this Jesus, and could he possibly heal Illyrica? Author Patricia St John's captivating historical fiction is set when Jesus walked the Earth. It powerfully portrays what life may have been like for people living near Israel as they experienced Christ's miracles and encountered his message. 153 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel E.
Publisher's Description of Victor
Philo, a first-century Phoenician boy, is worried about his family. Evil hangs over their house like a cloud. And it all seems to come from his sister, Illyrica, who is possessed by a demon. Hearing about a prophet from Nazareth who has healed the sick and even raised the dead, Philo wonders if He can save his sister. But the mere mention of the prophet's name sends Illyrica into fits of rage and despair. Even if the prophet really is as powerful as people say He is, how can Philo and his little sister, Ione, take Illyrica to Him to be healed? Hopeless, Philo runs away and goes to live with his uncle in Capernaum, where he hears even more about the Jewish prophet and His miracles. Who is He? How strong is His power? Most of all, would the Jewish prophet help Philo, a Gentile? This gripping story of revenge and forgiveness, sickness and healing, and evil and grace traces the footsteps of Jesus of Nazarethto the places He walked and the people He touched.
