The Young Samaritan by J. Schuyler Sprowles

Is survival enough when faith is tested? Joshua, a young Samaritan boy, flees home in fear and stumbles into a journey that will change his life forever. Caught between prejudice and faith, exile and hope, he follows an unusual band of sojourners led by a Rabbi many call the Messiah. Against the backdrop of the final days of Jesus' ministry, Joshua's search for identity and belonging leads him to the cross, and to a destiny he never imagined. Inspired by the brief but mysterious account in the Gospel of Mark, The Young Samaritan blends historical realism with spiritual depth in a moving, unforgettable retelling of faith, courage, and redemption.
