An ordinary boy, an extraordinary faith.
It's 30 AD and everyone is expectantly awaiting the coming Messiah. While Jesus isn't exactly what they imagined, there is something special about this man.

This beautifully animated story of Jesus is told through the eyes of his beloved young friend, the Apostle John.
