5.0 out of 5 stars Good but not teriffic (like some of her other books), April 24, 2001

By A Customer

Philo is a boy in the first century (Jesus's time). His sister is posessed by a demon. Because he can't stand to be at home anymore, he runs away and he learns about Jesus and he is never the same again. This book has a great ending. (I don't want to spoil the surprise.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Some interesting insights into the ministry of Jesus Christ, November 8, 1999

By	Logan Wright ([e-mail]) (Springville, UT) - See all my reviews

This book is historical fiction. It takes place during the time of Christ's ministry in Palestine. It gives powerful imagery of those times and events. Even more powerful are inspiring insights into certain specific events such as His ministry in the regions of Samaria, Tyre and Sidon as well as the casting out of evil spirits into a herd of swine and the calming of the Sea of Galilee. I feel grateful and uplifted to have found this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, June 21, 2005

By	CD "devotedmomof7" (Texas) - See all my reviews

My children and I loved this book set in the time of Jesus Christ. A young boy has a demon-possessed sister and hears about Jesus' ministry. He sets out to get help for his sister. The accounts of his sister's outbursts are fairly disturbing for younger students. I feel it is best read as a family read-aloud.
