Joseph of Bethlehem Terry R Hill

What does a man do when his wife-to-be says she's carrying the child of God? Joseph of Bethlehem finds himself in circumstances that would test anyone's faith, when suddenly responsible for a young girl named Mary, and in the path of an unrelenting waterfall of events for which no one was prepared. How close is the Nativity story of today to what was told a few generations after Jesus' birth? Is Joseph the man you thought him to be? How will Joseph overcome all that threatens the birth of Mary's child, and would history have played out differently if another man had been chosen? There is always another side to every story. Generations have passed since God was an active participant in lives of the tribes of Jerusalem, and the Roman occupation of the Holy land was becoming increasingly intolerable. Experienced from the perspective of Joseph leading up to the days of Jesus' birth, it is the untold story of a man who learns to love again and a renewal of faith in his God. Joseph of Bethlehem brings this unique man out from the shadows of history and presents a relatable tale of man who faced difficult tests of character and faith. Hill based "Joseph of Bethlehem" upon the biblical and ancient texts written around the same time as those included in the Bible and the Quran Surah, and expands upon what is commonly taught about this holy couple and the turns leading up to the birth of Jesus.
