Tor, A Street Boy of Jerusalem
'Tor, A Street Boy of Jerusalem' Summary
Set against the backdrop of the turbulent Roman occupation of Jerusalem, "Tor, A Street Boy of Jerusalem" follows the journey of Tor, a young boy struggling to survive on the streets. Tor, embittered by poverty and injustice, initially views the arrival of Jesus with skepticism. However, his encounters with Jesus challenge his deeply rooted cynicism, leading him to question his own beliefs and the brutality he has come to accept as the norm. Through his relationship with Jesus, Tor discovers the power of faith and the importance of forgiveness, ultimately embracing a path of love and compassion in a world marked by hardship. As he navigates the complex realities of his time, Tor learns the transformative power of compassion and the enduring hope offered by the teachings of Jesus, leaving behind a life of desperation for a life of purpose and faith.Book Details
