When ten-year-old Isaac's parents and older sister drown in a boating accident, he is taken in by a widow living next door to him, cared for by her and the friends he makes in town. Once grown, he ventures out into the world, where he meets four other homeless boys and embarks upon the journey of a lifetime. Alph is the story of Isaac's journey and the journey of his descendents. And, though it may sound like a story that could take place here and now, it is set in the ancient lands of Judah and Galilee, during the time when Jesus Christ lived and walked the earth. Carrying readers back to the first century, Alph weaves historical facts and biblical truths together with fiction to chronicle the everyday life and spiritual growth of a remarkable family. It visits history-rich places such as Egypt and Jerusalem and includes several incidents with Jesus and other biblical figures, including the apostle Paul. A refreshing account of life in a distant past unencumbered by contemporary considerations, Alph reminds readers that some journeys are timeless, and that our relationships with friends, family, and God can help us survive any situation.
