There are several points throughout history that have never been clearly explained. This leaves a lot of room for people to generate speculation and create their own versions of what might have actually happened. Joshua The Odyssey Of A Man is a novel in which the author takes an important period of time about which very little fact is known, and weaves an exciting tale of probability.
Many of the most widely recognized stories of all time are contained in the Bible, the book of the Christian faith. The accounts are in order though they have huge gaps between them which allows a lot of leeway for the inquisitive to speculate on what may have occurred. Among the most popular subjects is the missing period in the life of a man whose name and fame reach far and wide.
Jesus Christ, the man from Galilee, the son of God, the one who died for the sins of all, is a major figure of all history and is known in some way by the majority of people no matter their religion, race or country of origin. His is a story that has been told and retold and is very dear to the hearts of many. The 18 missing years of his life have been the subject of many theories.
The Bible is the official account of Jesus' life and it begins with his immaculate conception, his birth and continues on until his 13th year when he is removed from the temples for contradicting the teachers. He then disappears until age 31, picking up with his teachings and the events leading up to his infamous crucifixion, his celebrated resurrection and his amazing ascension into Heaven.
In this fictional account about a man called Joshua and his life is a parallel to that of Jesus. Using other writings from that time and extensive research, the author was able to put together a likely scenario of the missing years. He studied the economic and social factors of the period so well that every character feels so real.
The author has such a talent for descriptive writing that his work of fiction reads almost flawlessly as a biographical account. He tells the tale with such vivid detail, answering some of the more pressing questions concerning marriage, children, work and travel. The story takes place in multiple lands including those of Egypt, Babylon, Athens, Rome and still others before bringing him back to Israel.
Like the person he is modeled after, the title character spreads the word of God and stands up for the rights of those unable to defend themselves. His encounter with a group of angry men who wanted his blessing to stone a woman to death for sinning shows that he was one of the first proponents for better treatment for women. He stops them and teaches the lesson against judging others.
Being heralded as perhaps the most well written works based on historical events, Joshua The Odyssey Of A Man is a leader in the genre. Each character, every location is so vividly described that the reader feels as if they are actually in the story. As close to fact as fiction can get, everything in this book has been meticulously created to come together as a momentous tale of speculation.
