Journey into the Hidden Years of the Messiah — “They Called Him Yeshua: The Story of the Young Jesus” by Donald L. Brake Now Available on Amazon

Enter the historic alleyways of Nazareth, inhale the aroma of freshly made bread, and discover the little-known tale of a boy who will one day transform the world.

Award-winning biblical scholar Donald L. Brake, PhD, and co-author Shelly Beach bring readers inside their exquisitely woven novel, “They Called Him Yeshua: The Story of the Young Jesus,” which reimagines Jesus’s early years with reverence, inventiveness, and profound theological insight.

Blending meticulous biblical scholarship with immersive storytelling, Brake and Beach bring to life the silent years of Jesus, a time largely unrecorded in scripture yet ripe with wonder, tension, and discovery. This is a spiritual experience, and not mere historical fiction. With compelling prose and richly researched context, the authors reveal the daily challenges of a faithful Jewish family living under Roman oppression, all while raising a boy whose identity and mission are only beginning to unfold.

“Brake writes as a scribe, communicating the scenes as they’re happening… This is a novel, but it is also devotional, study, and inspiration to draw us nearer to the One they called, Yeshua.”
— Mesu Andrews, novelist of nine biblical character novels.

“Smell the morning bread baking… feel the tension… and see the young boy blossom into the Savior of the world.”
— Stu Weber, pastor, author, and decorated U.S. Army Green Beret.

“With biblical and historical accuracy, insightful sanctified imagination and brilliant storytelling… Get ready for epiphanies aplenty.”
— David Sanford, executive editor for Zondervan and Tyndale House.

Dr. Donald L. Brake, Dean Emeritus of Multnomah Biblical Seminary and former President of Jerusalem University College, has spent over 35 years teaching and touring the Holy Land. A leading voice in biblical studies and history, his previous works include A Visual History of the English Bible, a 2009 ECPA Book Award finalist.

Shelly Beach, MRE, is an award-winning author and cofounder of the Breathe Writer’s Conference. With experience as an editor for Zondervan and Tyndale, she brings both depth and artistry to this evocative retelling.

“They Called Him Yeshua” is now available in digital and print formats on Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. This book is a must-read for those seeking to better understand the humanity of Jesus—and draw closer to His divinity.
