*Jesus of Nazareth, Boy and Man: A Novel of the Lost Years* opens with the preaching of Jesus in the Temple and progresses through the years that the Gospels are silent on. Although this is a novel and the events are mere conjecture, Hayden has taken recent archeological findings and her own knowledge as a spiritual student and has spun this into a tale that anyone interested in the progression of one remarkable and dedicated soul will want to consider. Those who would like to know Jesus better must understand the character of the times he lived in as well as the True, unlimited nature of God.
