Description
Joshua and the City is a powerful and inspiring novel about the importance of compassion and care in the midst of human suffering and need. It affirms the power of love to transform our troubled world.
In this, the fifth of the Joshua novels, the enigmatic carpenter comes to a modern metropolis, bringing its people love and new hope. Faced with the real problems of life in a big city – including loneliness, AIDS, poverty, drug abuse, and unemployment – Joshua brings about imaginative and effective solutions.
Through his tireless care of those he meets, Joshua wins new friends – and new enemies. As sinister forces try to undo his good work, Joshua finds he must take his message of justice and healing to the most powerful leaders of the nation.
The Joshua novels are comforting and insightful explorations of what it might be like to have Jesus come into our society today. Joseph Girzone’s imagination, vision and heart-felt conviction have created a series of novels that have moved and inspired millions of readers around the globe.
Joseph F. Girzone retired from the active priesthood in 1981 for health reasons, and began an unexpectedly successful writing career. In addition to the best-selling Joshua novels, he is also the author of the autobiographical introduction to spirituality, Never Alone.
