In a vivid and moving narrative, Anne Rice recreates that miraculous journey. In The Road to Cana we see Jesus - Yeshua Bar Joseph - during a winter of no rain, endless dust, and disruption in Judea. Whispers of a virgin birth have long surrounded Jesus. His brothers, his mother, his friends, wait for some sign of the path he will take, some with awe, others with impatience or incredulity. Both divine and human, he struggles with the demands of his family, the human need for love, and his overwelming sense of destiny. Now in his thirtieth year, this quiet man of Nazareth emerges from his baptism in the river Jordan to confront his mission - and the Devil. He is urged to call on Israel rise up to cast off the yoke of Rome. But his is a different and greater calling. *** Quantity Available: 4. Category: Fiction; Historical; ISBN/EAN: 9780701178161.
