What? You didn’t know Jesus was missing? Dr. Robert J. Newton is not a mystery writer; however, in the newly released In the Shadow of a Master: The Unknown Chronicles, Knowledge, and Secrets of Master Yeshua (aka Jesus Christ)and Mary Magdalene he tells a plausible tale of the 17-year void in the life of Yeshua…avoid referred to as the lost years of Jesus. Although written as fiction, Dr. Newton addresses one of history’s most fascinating biblical mysteries, filling the pages with facts so beautifully interwoven with the possibilities as he seeks to explain how Jesus springs from a bright and engaging 12-year-old who baffles the wise ones-to a 30-year-old man who is baptized and begins his life-preaching the gospel. These lost years are concepts not commonly found in scholarly literature; Newton has done an outstanding job of sharing studies and revealing theories, which have emerged throughout history. In an engaging story, he sorts through myths, legends, and historical evidence to play a part in unraveling this…one of the greatest mysteries never told! Everyone is entitled to be the skeptic. Still, Dr. Newton challenges readers to consider trekking with him through an incredible journey to inquire and discover how, why, and where Jesus was missing! Consider…what would it be like to have been with Jesus during those years, as His best friend…in His shadow.
