Follow Me is a captivating narrative of the life of Mary, Joseph, and their first born, Jesus. It follows Him through His childhood and then through His ministry. You will feel what the apostles must have felt as they witnessed the miracles of Jesus: His response of comfort to the weary and downtrodden, His healing of the ill and physically handicapped, His peace when attacked by the bitterness of antagonists, His forgiveness for those who railed against Him and nailed Him to the cross.
