Joseph of Arimathea tells the story of the man who took upon himself the task of burying Jesus after his crucifixion.

Joseph, who is briefly discussed in all four gospel accounts, is a mere footnote in Scripture, but his actions speak volumes and give the working Christian an example of how to live for Christ in a world that opposes him.

Joseph of Arimathea reaches through the verses of Scripture to our own generation in a powerful, relevant, and compelling way. He teaches us that the ordinary matters. An ordinary person, living an ordinary life, can be an instrument in the hands of God to be used for his purposes. Looking closely at the life of this disciple, Joseph of Arimathea defines what it means to be a person of the small print and offers a paradigm-shifting perspective on how to be a disciple of Christ in a secular world. At a time when influence, followers, and clout are the order of the day, Joseph reminds us that small acts of faithfulness can lead to astounding influence and impact through justice, conscience, and power.

Joseph of Arimathea validates the contemporary mindset of preparing to stand up for what is right, often in the face of, an increasingly hostile culture.

This book is written as a recruitment tool for Christianity and does not attempt to fully unravel the full and real story of Joseph of Arimathea. Joseph was more than just some wealthy stranger that felt called to help Jesus. He was his uncle and primarily responsible for the formative years (and missing years) of Jesus between 12 and 30 yo. He was a wealthy merchant who assumed the patriarchal role upon Jesus’ fathers death who took Jesus to Japan, India and Britain to teach and be taught by the world spiritual leaders. It is no cooncidence that all of these records mysteriously burned or disappeared at the hands of the church long ago to hide the tracks.
