Hearing the Truth in Cana of Galilee

"Hearing the Truth in Cana of Galilee" is the second book of "The New Way Series." It is based on the first century manuscript "Acts of the Apostles" written by Luke. Once I completed writing the first book of the series, "Looking Through the Eyes of a Child," I began to imagine what it must have been like for those children to grow up and become adults in such a turbulent time of history. There was an amazing transformation in society immediately after the death and resurrection of Jesus. Jerusalem was shaken to its very roots by the teachings of Jesus. His New Way of living impacted men vs. women, free men vs. slaves, Jew vs. Gentile, and religion vs. the teachings of Jesus.
Cana is a small town located about sixty-five miles north of Jerusalem, yet "Hearing the Truth in Cana of Galilee" explores how the New Way began to impact every aspect of their daily lives. Imagine with me how the citizens of Cana might have heard about the New Way. Visualize the new followers of Jesus learning to listen to Him and follow His instructions. There was no Bible to follow. Word of mouth was the only way the New Way could spread, yet Jesus had predicted that it would spread like wildfire. What would it be like to grow up, fall in love, choose your career, and experience life's journey, impacted by individuals who had actually traveled with Jesus? How would they incorporate what they heard?
"Hearing the Truth in Cana of Galilee," Book 2 of "The New Way Series," introduces many of the citizens of the town of Cana. Some of these are young adults who were introduced as children in Book 1, "Looking Through the Eyes of a Child." I hope you will look forward to the further development and growth of these characters as they discover that following the New Way grows their love in Book 3, "Growing the Love in Cana of Galilee."
