Joshua.
Joesph F. Girzone
Pages 1-58
Fiction
Joshua is a story of a mysterious man who is new moving into the small town of Auburn. To start off, the book describes the town and the closeness of those who inhabit it. Joshua, the newcomer, lives astray a little outside of the town. However, he lingers into town to pick up groceries and work materials. The town is very suspicious and wonders about him because he has yet to make friends with them, he just minds his business and does his own thing. Except one day, the mail man named Charlie had a package to delievery but no where to put it. So, he took the initative to knock on Josh's door. Surprised by his politness and quick hospitality, Joshua instantly invites Charlie in for some lunch. Charlie looks around, eyes scanning the house, looking for anything interesting. He notices that Josh is just a normal person, except he lives more simply. His house contains little fruniature or pleasureable things..just things he needs on a regular basis. After lunch Charlie rushes down to the local restaurant to gloat about what he had just been through. Little did Josh know, this was the start to a chain reaction!
Following Charlie's visit, came Herm. And then Katherine and her family, and so on and so on. Joshua didn't mind though, he loved the company and doing what he could for people. Later we learn that Joshua is a craftsman and builds wooden objects and carves wooden objects in order to make a living. I love way he says, "I don't make alot, just enough to get by and pay those bills." The situation I ended on was Josh making a Moses statue out of a cherry log for the Jewish Church. He does all he can to help anyone but himself. He is not selfish. The book also describes his close relationship with God. Throughout the book, Joshua prays every night before bed, every morning before breakfast and once before lunch and once before dinner.
