A GENTLEMAN NAMED JOSHUA AND A SIMPLE MESSAGE THAT COULD REVOLUTIONIZE THE CHURCH...
It is the end of a bitter cold winter. A crowd of people files into a cathedral to celebrate the consecration of a new bishop -- a good man, they think, strict in doctrine but capable of compassion. A man of tradition, not of reform. A "company man." His name is David Campbell.
And sitting in the last pew of the cathedral is a clean-shaven man of ordinary build, with gentle hazel eyes. His name is Joshua.
Within twenty-four hours of his first encounter with Joshua, David Campbell will propose the most far-reaching reforms in a millennium, reforms to destroy sectarian barriers, reforms to change the direction of the church, reforms to return Christianity to its founders with a simple message. With Joshua as his mentor, David Campbell -- the Shepherd -- preaches to Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, and Jews of the universal truth of God's love. It is a message that changes everyone it touches. And no one who reads Joshua and the Shepherd will ever forget it.

Joshua And The Shepherd
What an odd little book! It has been twenty years or more since I first heard of Girzone and the Joshua series, but I never got around to reading it. So when I spotted this volume among the library discards I thought I would give it a try. I found it interesting, if totally unmoored in reality. Part parable, part fairy tale, part magical realism, this is the story of a recently consecrated American Catholic bishop who has a vision of Church that is unfettered by human conventions, ecumenical, and devoted to sharing the Gospel by taking care of the poor and powerless. The "unreal" part of the story? He actually overcomes the forces of vicious ecclesiastical politics and pulls it off. Sadly many of the shocking innovations introduced by the main character at the book's publishing in 1990 remain as unthinkable today, 26 years later, as they were then. Still, it is always good to be reminded that it is at least possible to imagine a world where the Gospel prevails.
