About Son of the FatherSome debts are impossible to repay. Son of the Father is a modern storytelling of Barabbas, the man released in the hours leading up to Jesus' crucifixion. Long before his life is traded for Jesus', Barrabas' family is ruined, a consequence of his own rage. Consumed with guilt he resolves to put things right, but this seems an impossible task. Huge debts, a man bent on revenge, theft, and murder hang above his head. As Barrabas struggles to atone and restore his family's honor and to bring himself out of poverty, he meets the new religious teacher. Barabbas can't bring himself to trust this wandering preacher even though his family follows Him, until Barabbas' life is spared, costing more than he thought possible. In this thought-provoking and gripping novel by debut author Andrew Stone, readers will discover a much deeper meaning as the lives of Barabbas and Jesus intertwine between the pages and weave a story of love and sacrifice. |
