Summary: Jeshua bar Joseph, a young, unassuming carpenter from Nazareth, has been hired to remodel the front door of a rich man's home. As he works, he learns of a family in crisis: young Reuben has gone into the world and is squandering his inheritance. His older brother Simeon remains behind, dutifully but bitterly fulfilling his family responsibilities. And their father Eli suffers most of all as he struggles to understand, love, and forgive his two disappointing sons. In this beautiful and touching retelling of the parable of the prodigal son, we meet a young, hard-working and humble carpenter who possesses great stores of wisdom and love which he subtly shares with Eli's household, gently preparing each of them for the prodigal's inevitable return.
