An eminent rabbi pronounces them correct in every detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the story is that of an ordinary boy, living among shepherds and fishermen, it touches at every point the gospel narrative, making Joel, in a natural and interesting way, a witness to the miracles, the death, and the resurrection of the Nazarene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was with the deepest reverence that the task was undertaken, and the fact that the little book is accomplishing its mission is evinced not only by the approval accorded its first editions by so many, from Bible students to bishops, but by the boys and girls here and in distant lands.","brand":"Denise Henry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073987035376,"sku":"2940014277587","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014277587_p0.jpg?v=1763604791","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014277587","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
