Other Stories
The Miracle Maker - Sally Humble-Jackson
Book & video. Told from Jairus' perspective?
A
children's storybook tie-in, illustrated with color photos from the film. The
life of Jesus as seen through the eyes of a young girl - breathes new insights
into the biblical account. Retelling the stories of the Gospel with all the
innocence and clarity of a child's perspective makes them seem at once familiar
and utterly fresh. At the heart of the novel is the figure of Jesus himself.
Represented as a healer and radical teacher, he touches the hearts and minds
of all those who hear his words. His love and power radiate throughout the narrative,
echoed in the sensitive yet emotionally charged portraits of Mary Magdalene,
the twelve disciples, and Miryam, the mother of God. (Amazon
