"Growing the Love in Cana of Galilee" is the third book of "The New Way Series." It is based on the first century manuscript "Acts of the Apostles" written by Luke. The first century was a turbulent time of history. Society was changing primarily because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In Book #1 of the series, "Looking Through the Eyes of a Child," we met some of the characters, and in Book #2, "Hearing the Truth in Cana of Galilee," we explored how the happenings in Jerusalem began to gradually impact the little village of Cana sixty-five miles to the north. In this book, "Growing the Love in Cana of Galilee," these same characters grow to become more like Jesus in how and who they love. The New Way of living caused Orly and Gabriela's love to grow and deepen. As they and their friends followed the New Way, they began to care deeply about those in slavery and treat them in a way that caused others to take notice. This love began to impact the local synagogue and introduced amazing changes.

"Growing the Love in Cana of Galilee" explores the internal changes that these young adults experienced as they broke with the traditions of the past and embraced the New Way. Their treatment of slaves was not the only radical transformation. Watch as they learn to love not only people of other beliefs, but also a group who were their political enemies and ruling occupiers of their homeland. Visualize the new followers of Jesus learning to love others the way Jesus loved. There was no Bible to follow. Yet, step by tiny step the Holy Spirit was teaching them to grow in love.

Watch as these same characters discover that following the New Way may take them on difficult paths in "Following the Way in Cana of Galilee," Book #4 of "The New Way Series."
