The Birthright Blanket

Have you ever wondered about the many things the Gospels do not tell us concerning the rocky poverty of Galilee two millennia ago? What was it like falling in love surrounded by culture and customs radically different from our own? In this book, the author tells a very human tale about a very young couple who just happen to find themselves swept up by extraordinary events. It is the story of Yusep and Miryam and the incredible events which altered the course of their lives and the fabric of history.
