My Donkey and the Master
Watch the gospel story unfold through the eyes of an outsider, a friend of Joseph of Nazareth. Travel along as his donkeys become an integral part of the narrative. Be there as Joseph and Mary are betrothed and then feel with Joseph the angst of what he thinks is betrayal. Join in on the escape to Egypt, be part of the search for the missing child in Jerusalem, have a front row seat at the marriage at Cana, hear Jesus tell Lazarus to come from the tomb, and experience the anguish of the crucifixion and the joy of the resurrection.
This true to life retelling of the story is scripturally, historically, and culturally accurate and will give the flavor of the events as you’ve never experienced them before.
About J.L. Callison (Other Author)
J.L. Callison was an early and voracious reader. He even read volumes A-H of the World Book Encyclopedia when in the third grade! Service to others has been a theme of his adult life. He has served in youth work through his church and in other capacities as opportunities were available. He has also served in jail ministry, rescue mission ministry, in food pantries, and with the local police department through the Citizen’s Police Academy Alumni Association. Having studied for the ministry, he has put his training to use in a lay capacity. After a varied career in retail, recycling, sales, and transportation Callison fulfilled a life-long dream of writing. He followed Louis L’Amour’s adage in that he considers himself along the lines of the old-time storytellers more than as a writer. His first novel, Stranded at Romson’s Lodge, (Morgan James 2016) was received with very good reviews. His second work, My Donkey and the Master, is a novelette that released in April, 2018. Callison live in Aurora IL with his wife of 40+ years. They have five children, all grown and out of the house, and six grandchildren of whom he is inordinately proud.
