Joshua

Joshua

Based on the best-selling novel by Joseph Girzone that touched the lives of millions, Joshua is an inspirational story about a stranger whose mysterious “supernatural” powers inspire a small town.

When Joshua moves to the outskirts of Auburn, he awakens the curiosity of the sleepy town. They don’t know who he is or where he came from, but no one can shake the feeling that they’ve known him for years. Known only by his first name, his wisdom and compassion place him at the center of the town’s attention as he shatters prejudice and misconception, and even seems to perform miracles.

Despite his benevolence and selfless work in the community, some remain suspicious – no one in today’s world would do something for nothing. In the end, the answer to that question which is nearly as extraordinary as the discovery of the same transforming power in each of their own hearts.
