Summary

In Joshua and the Children, beloved author Joseph F. Girzone offers a timeless spiritual allegory that speaks to both the heart and conscience. Set in a small village torn by violence and discord, the story follows Joshua—a Christ-like figure—who arrives quietly, unannounced, and begins to work miracles not through grand gestures, but through love, humility, and deep compassion. His focus on guiding the village’s children becomes the catalyst for healing, as their innocence and trust inspire change in the most hardened hearts.

This novel is both powerful and tender, drawing readers into a hopeful vision of peace through understanding. Girzone’s writing is gentle and luminous, making profound truths feel accessible to anyone searching for meaning. This signed hardcover edition, in near fine condition with a beautifully preserved Brodart-covered dust jacket, is a rare and collectible find—especially for readers of spiritual fiction or collectors of inspirational works.
