"Jayne Cox presents a playful and tender re-telling of a well-known biblical story in A Passover Blessing. Her rendering brings a fresh perspective to the compassionate young Jesus. Reading A Passover Blessing transported me back to old Jerusalem, as I walked the cobblestone alleys and the dusty roads towards the Temple, surrounded by the busy sounds of the market place. It filled me with a longing to feel the very hand of God on my own face and watch Him at work amongst His people. It made me want to search for the needy, the hurting and often overlooked members of society, and left me yearning to appreciate the beauty and value in all of God’s creations. "
