Joshua A Parable for Today

This book reminded me of The Shack. It is about a man named Joshua who comes to live in a small town and how he interacts with the Jews and with the Christians. It was a good book and what was different from The Shack was that it was about what Jesus would or might possibly think of our "religions". It was thought provoking and I would recommend it. It is a very quick and easy read. It is by no means new ...It was published in 1983. I remember seeing it in the bookstores at the the time.
Let me know if you have read it and if you thought it was good.
