Rachel Stackhouse is a busy mother of three who under another pen name is also the author of several bestselling novels of mystery and romance. This unique story, written before the age of ebooks, collected dust in a drawer for many years while mainstream publishers considered it "too Christian" and Christian publishers rejected the concept of time travel as "hocus pocus." Now, thanks to a more open literary market and the addition of excellent commentary by a New Testament scholar, the reader is invited to spy on one woman's vision of the events of first-century Galilee, and to wonder what might have been.
