Follow along in the story of Jesus' Silent Years in this final chapter of the hero's development as His suffering finally pays off.

He's survived starvation, plague, and prison. He's taken his friends for an air-walk above a castle wall. Now join Jesus as He travels to Egypt by way of Rhodes. After some time there, He returns home the same way He did as a boy from Egypt. Jesus and Claudia, the friend who adores Him and who He loves, walk with Windy through a firestorm. They watch the next emperor of Rome, Caligula, get skinned alive, and then healed.

In the Negev, Jesus produces water from a rock, like Moses of yesteryear. He discovers a seed from Joseph, left in a jar in a mountainside, not unlike what was later found in the Qumran cliffs. He plants this seed above the hollow of His own grave, from which He will later rise. Claudia is called home to be married to Pontii, who will be reassigned by Tiberius to Israel and renamed Pontius Pilate.

In Jesus' Silent Years: Parable, Jesus matures through temptation, doubt, and longing. He follows the classic path of the heroβ€”beginning in an unremarkable mudhole, unknown and undistinguished, innocent and naΓ―ve, in Foundations. He steadily moves down into the mainstream of growing upβ€”leaving home, wrestling with His own unique God-man identity. Suffering and loss carve out an interior life for Him, in Parable and Journey. Finally, He shows us all how to listen to the world of spiritβ€”adorned with the jewels of wisdom, compassion, and courageous vulnerabilityβ€”in Homecoming.
