The Welcoming Door: Parables of the Carpenter

The parables are some of the most influential and well-known stories in history, and in The Welcoming Door Kenny Kemp illuminates these timeless tales with an entirely new approach. With a style as simple and elegant as the parables themselves, Kenny Kemp reintroduces these celebrated stories, setting them as the formative experiences of the young man Jeshua bar Joseph, whom we know today as Jesus of Nazareth.

Jeshua, an unassuming young carpenter from Nazareth, lives his life like everyone else. He learns from his own experiences, the traditions of his people, and by inspiration of God. He soon proves to be a man of courage and integrity, a hard worker, a devoted son. And so with each story, each life-altering moment, we watch Jeshua become a leader of men. With rich and subtle detail, The Welcoming Door takes us inside the hearts and minds of the people of Galilee as we witness the Gospel in action.
