Acerca de esta escucha
The bestselling author of A Wrinkle in Time takes a fantastical look at the childhood of Jesus in two allegories set in an Egyptian village.
In “Pakko’s Camel,” Yehoshuah, the poor son of a carpenter, befriends Pakko, the arrogant son of a rich merchant. Yehoshuah cares for Pakko’s camel and shares with him the knowledge of the precious gifts he received from three wise men. But when Yehoshuah’s treasures are taken, he quickly learns that all gifts have a price.
In “The Sphinx at Dawn,” Yehoshuah and his camel journey into the desert, where they come across the monstrous, hungry Sphinx. Intrigued and unafraid, Yehoshuah endeavors to answer the Sphinx’s riddles - and in doing so, he begins the real journey of a man with an incredible destiny.
Known for both her literary accomplishments as a winner of the Newbery Medal and the National Book Award, and her spiritual outlook, Madeleine L’Engle presents two affecting and inspiring tales for listeners of any age.

A wonderful tale of a young man’s coming of age, Zorba the Greek has been a classic of world literature since it was first translated into English in 1952 and made into an unforgettable movie with Anthony Quinn. Zorba, an irrepressible, earthy hedonist, sweeps his young disciple along as he wines, dines, and loves his way through a life dedicated to fulfilling his copious appetites. Zorba is irresistible in this charming audio production by veteran narrator George Guidall.

Rose is the youngest of seven children, meant to replace her dead sister. Maybe because of that, she’s never really fit in. She’s always felt different, out of place, a restless wanderer in a family of homebodies. So when an enormous white bear mysteriously shows up and asks her to come away with him - in exchange for health and prosperity for her ailing family - she readily agrees. Rose travels on the bear’s broad back to a distant and empty castle, where she is nightly joined by a mysterious stranger.

Wonderful Storytelling
Only a cursory knowledge of Christianity is needed to enjoy these stories. It reads like a fairytale or a legend. Wisdom first surfacing on a precocious, innocent child is delightful to witness. This audio calls for another listen.

Desert Tales of a Young Jesus
Written as parables, these two stories that reflect the life of Jesus as a boy, are wonderful. They stick with you long after you listen to them, giving you food for thought, as you move through your day. The gentle, loving ways of a child (who will become the Christ) will touch you deeply. And they are indicative of a loving Father who does the same for us, giving us chances to redeem ourselves so many times without exposing our ugliness to the world . . . when He so clearly knows "the dirt". The wisdom and the laughter of the young boy as he encountered the Sphinx who sought to trick Yehoshuah with his riddles was also interesting to me. The Lord knows the answers. He is not intimidated by the things that we . . . or He encounters. Excellent tales. Don't miss them.
