Loiacono Literary Agency takes on Schlepping Towards Jerusalem: A Skeptic’s Pilgrimage through the Holy Land by Stephen Doster!

An unnamed witness to Jesus’ first public miracle learns of His crucifixion and immediately sets off for Jerusalem on a personal quest. Along the way he joins others who were beneficiaries of Jesus’ healing powers or witnesses thereof. Was Jesus the Christ, the Messiah spoken of by the prophets? Was he just another miracle worker or merely a wizard practiced in the dark arts? Can it be true that the Son of Man was really crucified? This is the story of the blessed recipients of Grace Eternal who embark on a spontaneous pilgrimage to the Holy City in hopes that their questions will be answered.
