Synopsis

In this fifth volume of the Gospel Time Trekkers series, children ages 6-9 are taken on a journey that imaginatively retraces Jesus restoring Bartimaeus' sight and calling Zacchaeus down from the tree. When time traveling siblings arrive in Jericho and learn that Jesus is on his way to Jerusalem, they want to follow him. But the roads leading to Jerusalem are confusing and dangerous. Will they go anyway despite these warnings, or realize that a courageous quest can mean more than putting themselves in danger?

About this title

About the Author:

Sister Maria Grace grew up in Springfield, Virginia, and has one older brother and four younger sisters (and twenty-two nieces and nephews-so far). She met the Daughters of Saint Paul when she was fifteen years old and felt God calling her to help people know and love him. Since then, Sister Grace has edited a Catholic children's magazine (My Friend), authored several children's books, and now serves in the Pauline Books & Media Center in Alexandria, Virginia. She'd love to recommend a good book to you!

Review:

"I saw a recommendation for this series from a facebook post on alternatives for Catholics besides the Magic Tree House series... We are currently reading the 5th book in the series and enjoy each one as much as the first. I have recommended the series to many friends and to a local Catholic bookstore."

"I'm grateful to Sister Maria Grace Dateno, FSP for offering not only an idea but an exciting example of how to bring Scripture to life in a way even modern kids will love! ... The tales are great for both boys and girls - offering them face to face encounters with Scripture, framed in a way they will truly understand. For parents seeking a way to bring more Scripture and family discussion into their home, apart from Sunday Mass, this is a great tool and an engaging step forward."
