    About this ebook

    MUSTARD SEED
    A Story of Jesus’ Little Sister
    Based creatively on verses and events from the New Testament, this is the story of Jesus as told from the point of view of his youngest sister, nicknamed Mustard Seed due to her small size. It is a tale of faith in which Jesus’ sister, who is crippled, must overcome the challenge of her disability and maintain her faith in her older brother … and her Lord.
