The Carpenter -- Write Stuff -- 12/15/2020

Joseph, a master craftsman and carpenter, stokes the ire of his family when he weds his pregnant (and seemingly unfaithful) betrothed, Mary. Pious, devout, and guided by the dictates of Heaven, Joseph has no issue with taking Mary – who still claims to be a virgin – as his wife and committing himself to the protection of her child, whom he senses is extraordinary.

However, there are others who are also aware of how special the child is, and not all have its best interests at heart. Among these is the despot Herod, whose oppressive rule and wanton cruelty are legendary. Deeply troubled by a prophecy concerning a King to Come, the tyrant is committed to finding – and eliminating – this threat to his reign. In addition, there are forces beyond the ken of men that also recognize the singular nature of Mary’s child, and which are determined to keep the salvation that the babe represents out of mankind’s reach.

All of these factions converge on Mary and Joseph as they trek from Nazareth to Bethlehem. On a journey fraught with peril, Joseph fights to protect Mary and her unborn child from danger on all sides, the elements, bandits, and Herod’s legions – and an utterly evil and otherworldly demonic force determined to stamp out mankind’s only hope of redemption. Armed with his wits, his faith, and his carpenter’s hammer, Joseph must face impossible odds to ensure the survival of not only his family, but mankind’s future
