From Publishers Weekly Father Girzone continues to recast Jesus's mission in contemporary settings with this tale of Joshua, a gentle young man who captivates the children of a politically divided, strife-ridden village. "The applications of the message are broad," said PW . "The simple, childlike tone and the inspirational subtext will appeal to the audience that enjoyed Joshua ." Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal In this sequel to Father Joseph Girzone's best-selling first novel, Joshua , a gentle wanderer comes to a village in (presumably) Northern Ireland and attempts to bring peace to the anxious and unhappy children of the town by spending time with them and by teaching them to be friends with one another. Joshua does not so much preach as live the Christian life, and he feels the children are the key to future peace "because adults resist change, and once adults learn to hate, it is hard for them to forgive and lay aside their hatred." A simple, moving, and inspirational parable presented in an uncomplicated fashion. Recommended.- Linda L.
