It's no secret that the chroniclers of the New Testament -- Matthew, Mark, Luck, and John -- have focused on "the juicy parts" of the story of Jesus; there are places all over the bible where we witness their lack of interest in the more mundane aspects of Jesus's life. Take for example this excerpt from John 11:44-45:
"And Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, etc., etc."
As the world knows, there are entire years of his life that go undocumented in the good book, particularly that segment when he wanders into the desert.
But recently, rigorous research into these missing years have been unearthed in the Dead Sea Scrolls. And a new book documenting that research, "Forgotten Miracles of Jesus" gives us the whole story!
After his failed apprenticeship in carpentry (he constantly complained about removing slivers), Jesus went into the desert to refine his God-given talents. Not satisfied with bending spoons and guessing people's weight, Jesus worked diligently on perfecting increasingly more difficult miracles. Among those newly revealed miracles, we discover that Jesus:
- Received a radio signal through a kid's tooth filling
- Made a circus elephant take a bow
- Created Tide with Super-stain Fighting Bleach Particles
Although not as complex as feeding 5,000 followers with a single fish and a loaf of bread, Christ's early works clearly indicate he was on the path to greater things.
The book contains over twenty-seven action packed miracles and features a "Christ Challenges" Sudoku puzzle. Makes a great stocking-stuffer!
