Where is Matthias?: A Christian Historical Novel of Passover, Jerusalem, and an Encounter with Jesus - Paperback

by Heather Jones Grannum (Author)

It is Passover week in Jerusalem... and one choice will change everything.

The city is alive with anticipation. Pilgrims from across the world have gathered. Families prepare their lambs. Traditions are honored.

But in one respected household, tension is rising-and a young boy is about to disrupt everything.

At just fourteen, Matthias believes he is ready to make his own decisions. Determined to prove himself, he secretly replaces his family's carefully chosen Passover lamb with one of his own choosing.

It seems like a small act of independence.

It isn't.

Because during that same week, Matthias encounters a mysterious Galilean teacher-and nothing will ever be the same.
