Customer Reviews

Joshua (and Girzone) at his blessed best!

I hardly expected the prequel to so vast a number of (unnumbered) Joshua novels to be, in essence, the Creme d'la Creme (sp?). But the simplicity of Jesus' message and the pure innocence of the young teenager, Joshua, brought tears to my eyes. This is a book that I will purchase for some of my grandchildren and others. But don't let that promise fool you! It's in every way a book that has been and will continue to be read by adults (I'm 75) and children alike. Yes, Girzone is, as he is in all of his books, both repetitive and predictable ... but there is no limit to how often the message of Jesus should be repeated to persons of ALL faiths. As Joshua reminds us so very often, "we are all Children of Our Father." He created every human child on this, his earth!

Joshua's Family: The Long Awaited Prequel to Joshua

Joshua's Family, Like all of Joseph Girzone's books left me with a great sense of peace, commpassion, and a love of God.

Love Girzone's style and content

I have read everyone of John Girzone's books and this one was long overdue. I like the simplicity of his style and the strength of the messages throughout all of his books. Truly an inspired writer for our troubled times.
