St. Joseph's Story as dreamt by a sleeping teenage boy

Beschreibung

THE STORY OF ST. JOSEPH-WITH A SCI-FI TWIST! Razim's staying overnight to help his friend Daniel, who's sick with leukaemia, but he's forgotten his phone! Lying awake after watching Blade Runner, Razim reads the only story he can find-about Joseph and Mary-only to fall asleep and find himself in futuristic Merillia. In Merillia, his name is Cleopas, and his big brother, Jo, is considering an arranged marriage to a girl called Miryam. Soon, events are in motion that will change their lives-and the world-forever. For anyone who feels over-familiar with the Holy Family's story after Christmas after Christmas of nativity plays, this imaginative re-telling thoroughly blows the dust off. A standalone spin-off from Corinna Turner's 'Friends in High Places' series, it can be read on its own or in between books 1 and 2.
