What was Jesus' life like growing up in the small village of Nazareth? The Bible tells of his birth, his journey to Jerusalem when he was twelve, his ministry, his death and his resurrection. Nothing is related about his childhood-this storybook tells what life was probably like in Nazareth. What was the village like? Did he go to school? Did he play with toys? Did he help stomp grapes with his bare feet during the grape harvest? How did he use all the things he learned growing up in Nazareth after he became a teacher? Just a boy? A special boy named Jesus.
