"Worn Sandals" Philip G Lilly D Min

It's often said that to truly understand someone, you have to walk a mile in his shoes. In Philip G. Lilly and Jennifer Taylor Wojcik's Worn Sandals, we have the opportunity to travel many miles in the sandals of Jesus as the Messiah journeys from childhood toward His ultimate destiny.

It is a fascinating journey in many respects. Using history and the Bible as their foundation and imagination as their guide, the authors have provided a fully realized look into Jesus's entire life, from birth to Resurrection. They focus on the lost years and speculate on Jesus's many travels: from Bethlehem to Egypt and back to Nazareth as a child and to the Middle East as a young adult to preach the Word of God to Jews who had fallen away.

What emerges is an intimate portrait of someone known to us as the Son of God but whom we rarely glimpse as a human being. We're given insights about Jesus's childhood, relationships with friends and family, tenderness toward Mary Magdalene, and approach to teaching the Gospel. Worn Sandals is an unforgettable rendering of the man who would become the Messiah.
