Publisher's Summary:
b>The story of Yeshua's Cat
Mari is a cat living by her claws on the fringes of the Judean desert. Yeshua ben Yosef is a man with healing hands, seeking solitude in the wastes beyond Qumran.
Their paths cross when Yeshua drives away a pack of wild dogs and rescues the wounded cat, carrying her in his arms to a wadi where he settles to pray. An unusual friendship grows up between them, deepened by Yeshua's ability to speak with animals, and when he leaves the wilderness, she rides with him, hidden in a sling beneath his robe. More than any other, she is Yeshua's companion in the quiet times.
Mari narrates the life of Jesus of Nazareth from a cat's eye-view, frequently losing the thread of his teaching as she drowses, focusing instead on their times alone. When crowds press close for healing, she withdraws behind the folds of his robes. On her own, she pursues a friendship with Mary Magdalene, and looks on as Yeshua transforms the very elements of Earth in his miracles.
Mari loves Yeshua beyond the wont of cats. But in loving him, she discovers loneliness and fear of loss. How can a cat who lives in the eternal Now cope with sudden awareness of the future, with all its uncertainty and pain?
Still, in the end, all roads lead to the Passover festival in Jerusalem, where Mari experiences depths of wonder unsuspected by those caught up in the tumult around her.
"Behold, I do a new thing: see, it springs forth from the bud! Can you not perceive it? Even the beasts of the field will glorify Me."
Members Reviews:
Mari the cat's musings about her travels with Yeshua could not be more realistic.
My copy of The Gospel according to Yeshua's Cat arrived yesterday and it is beyond wonderful! It was recommended by a friend on Facebook, and I can't thank her enough for recommending it!
As a founder of a local cat rescue organization and a wannabe writer, this is the book I wanted to write; but only someone with a very special, sweet, sweet spirit could have written it.
I am only in chapter 9, because I want to savor every word. So far, I have cried, laughed, nodded knowingly as Mari the cat recounted her travels and her conversations with Yeshua. This author has completely captured the true nature of cats, as well as that of Yeshua within the pages of this book. Much like C.S. Lewis in his Chronicles of Narnia, C.L. Francisco has written a book that transcends the age category of the reader.
I will write a further review after I have finished, but this is one book I can recommend, without reservation, while not even half way through the reading of it! I already know this will be my gift of choice for all my closest friends. My first gift copy will arrive today for my sister's 58th birthday.
Cat-Like Simplicity
He rescued her from a pack of wild dogs and gave her the gift of language. Now Mari tells of her life with Jesus. Her simple trust serves as a model for the kind of faith that changes hearts.
The author deftly weaves insightful translations of well-known passages from the gospels, characters from her own imagination, and a story of devotion between a man and a cat. While the book touches on themes such as hatred and marginalization, God's deep love and compassion shine throughout it.
A treat for all ages
As a child I wondered if Jesus ever had a pet. In C. L. Franciscoâs beautiful novel, he has a cat.
