The Highlands of Galilee

About this book

From the manger's humility to the lake's bright mornings, Smyth traces Jesus' first public steps with a storyteller's cadence and a teacher's light touch. You'll meet the child of Nazareth, the young man baptized and tested, the friend who calls fishermen by name, and the guest who turns a family's embarrassment into joy. The "Kingdom" chapters gather the teaching that shapes conscience and community, while the closing lessons at Caesarea Philippi and the "Farewell to Galilee" set up the road ahead. Crafted in brief, vivid sections, this edition is ideal for reading aloud and thoughtful conversation. Readers come away with a surer grasp of the Gospels, a steadier hope, and habits-attention, self-control, courage-that reach beyond the page.
