Simon and Alexandra are back on the porch, and Grandpa Joe has more stories to tell. This time, Grandpa Joe turns to one of the ancient world’ s greatest wonders: the Temple in Jerusalem. From Solomon’ s vision of a house worthy of God to Herod’ s breathtaking reconstruction, he traces the Temple’ s story through the men who built it, the pride that threatened it, and the faith that kept it alive in the hearts of a people. Adapted from the writings of Flavius Josephus, the stories in Grandpa Joe and the Holy Temple bring the ancient world to life through Grandpa Joe’ s warm, measured voice. Themes of craftsmanship, devotion, and the danger of confusing what we build with who we are emerge naturally from the historical record. Accessible to Christian, Jewish, and general readers, the series is values-based and faith-informed without denominational teaching.
