Jotham's Journey: A Storybook For Advent
Over 10,000 copies of Jotham's Journey have passed through the Timberdoodle warehouse, making it one of our most popular titles. In fact, it is so sought-after that when it went out of print, used copies were being sold for triple the retail price! What makes this book so desirable?

Kidnappers, Wise Men, Shepherds...
Jotham's Journey is the story of a ten-year-old shepherd boy who, in a fit of anger, runs away from his father's tent. His nomadic family assumes he is dead and travels on. Remorseful Jotham tries to reconnect with his loved ones. As he proceeds through Palestine, he encounters a tangle of kidnappers, wise men, shepherds, and innkeepers, then finally the Savior who was born in Bethlehem.

Captivating Family Devotional
Written as an advent resource for parents, Jotham's Journey will focus the attention of the whole family on the true meaning of Christmas. Every night, as your family reads another intriguing episode, children and adults alike will be captivated by Jotham's remarkable adventure. Far more accurate than the nativity fluff families see on TV, Jotham's Journey will open your eyes to what life was really like for Israelites living in an occupied nation. Each installment of the story is followed by a short devotional designed to challenge your family during a season that is commercially bent on self-indulgence.
