Librarian's Note: An alternate cover for this ASIN can be found here

Joshua Phillips, a fourteen-year-old boy dares to embrace with all of his heart, mind, and strength to follow Jesus. But following the Master isn’t without tribulations and trials as the young man faces the growing pressures of his family, his school, and the mysterious girl he begins to court, Lydia Claremont. As the signs and wonders begin to follow the boy, and as the boy’s impact begins to be observed throughout the school and community, there comes the crucible of staying true regardless of his surroundings or circumstances. When news comes about his little brother struggling with an aggressive form of leukemia which seems resistant to Josh's prayers, and when unexpected news about Lydia becomes known to all, there comes the greatest of tests for Josh. Is that which is within Josh capable of changing the world? Will the world be changed or will he be changed by the world? Joshua Phillips is the Jesus Boy.
