Time is a novel that explores the time that Mary and Jesus had together before the beginning of his ministry. It explores Jesus' relationships with brothers and sisters, with neighbors, and, most important, his relationship with God. Rooted in biblical tradition, Time offers significant insights into the family life, healings, parables, stories, and teachings that we associate with the ministry of Jesus.
