"This is a profound book. and not for the faint of heart. Joseph Kinnebrew is a deep thinker and has created a masterpiece for moral debate and further consideration. Kinnebrew crafted a surreal tale using metaphors woven together as only a consummate artist can. This book and ideas of the four concepts of faith, forgiveness, redemption and resurrection will remain in my mind for some time to come.Others would do well to read this very important book."-Rear Admiral Edward J. Hogan, USN (ret.)"Honestly, l am still shaken as to where your words took me. Places so dark where unexpected truths were revealed, naked and for all to see. I have to admit, I could only read bits at a time just so I could process the gifts of honesty and consequences. Always in there is the VOICE of our conscious mind and reason.The Orchard is not a book that will be placed on my mental library, not a book to be forgotten after a month or year has passed. This is a book that is now a part of my very existence. How many books can you say with grace, that honestly hold that place? That place of Change.Joseph, I knew you were an artist with your mind, in creating all you have visually. But, friend, your writing is an art unto its own. I cried at the end and I cried because the end was the beginning of life."-Antonella Novi

This book is about a meaningful way of getting to know better our Lord Jesus Christ, the significant events in His life, the sacred mission He accomplished in obedience to His heavenly Father, His very words and ways, and the significant role of His blessed mother, all these by praying the holy rosary. This time, every prayer on each bead is accompanied by an incident, phenomenon, remark or message all about or related to His life embedded in the four mysteries of the rosary. Thus, sometime, along the way of using this scriptural rosary prayer, one may utter in sheer wonder and reverence, "my Lord and my God!"

In the gospel of John, the writer ends the story by stating the purpose of writing the Gospel. This purpose is recorded in verses 30 and 31 of chapter 20.Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.Based on this ending, it stands to reason that for even the other Bible stories which are included in scripture, many details have been left out because the respective writers can say so much and no more. Have you ever wondered what details might have been left out of the Christmas narrative as we know them? It is that kind of curiosity which sparked the imaginative thoughts that brought these two Christmas musicals together.The characters were normal human beings with emotions. If you think of it, Joseph would have been jealous and angry when he thought that Mary was unfaithful to him. That kind of emotion might have led to a verbal showdown between the two until the angel appeared to Joseph directly. In turn, Mary must have been pretty distraught that Joseph kept accusing her wrongly and that he continued to question her integrity. Why was he going to break off the engagement? Did he not trust and have confidence in the innocent virgin? Both Mary and Joseph would have had parents too, so how did they come into the picture? What were their immediate thoughts when news of the miracle pregnancy unfolded? There might have been uncertainty and confusion, even among the people of God. One may even assume that there may have been gossips in that society who, like some persons in this day and age, just enjoyed embellishing stories which sounded juicy.At the other end of the spectrum, one wonders what the atmosphere may have been like in the palace of Herod. Was it all anger and jealousy which prevailed, or did the raw human emotions of nervousness and anxiety come to the fore?A Dream Come True and Believe Me, I Believe depicts the Christmas narrative fully as described in the Bible. However, some of these thoughts and questions come out very clearly during the plot. In a combination of poetry and drama, music and dance, the story with the added imaginative scenes unfolds with all these elements interwoven into one continuous narrative. The overall Christian message comes out clearly and very strongly toward the end of each musical, and while the plots may differ, they both carry the underlying theme of evangelism as persons are encouraged to believe in this Jesus and give their lives to Him.
