GOLD MEDAL WINNER IN THE 2015 ILLUMINATION AWARDS (for books with a Christian world view); FINALIST IN FOREWORD MAGAZINE'S INDIEFAB BOOK AWARDS.
"And did those feet in ancient time, walk upon England's mountains green?" England's national Jerusalem Hymn puts into verse ancient legends that Jesus traveled to Britain during the "missing years" that are not covered in the Bible. The Making of the Lamb brings the legends to life and touches the heart of Christianity.
The Jesus of this novel, an authentic Christian savior but unlike any portrayed before, mixes it up with pirates, druids, and Iron Age Celts. He faces shipwreck and war, and he grows in strength, wisdom, and compassion. Aware from his childhood that he is the Son of God, he strives to become the conquering, heroic Messiah who will lead the Jews to freedom when he returns home. But one night in Britain he confronts his true fate: a shameful, painful death at an early age. How will he come to accept this? All Creation hangs in the balance. While driving home the significance of Christ's death and resurrection, The Making of the Lamb will entertain and delight anyone with an open mind and an appreciation for a thought provoking, exciting, and fast moving tale.

From the Author:
The Making of the Lamb is the first major novel to come along in about fifty years to really take an out-of-the-box look at who Jesus really was. Whenever I talk to people who have read my book I discover that each one finds something unique and personal to take away from it. This is borne out by the reader reviews on this page. While the story is lively and fast-moving, it is also incredibly thought provoking. It appeals to people of all stripes, including Christians of every denomination, atheists, Jews, modern day Druids, the spiritual-but-not-religious, and any other spiritual persuasion I can think of.
This book was about ten years in the research and writing. I am grateful for the recognition the book has received in the trade reviews and at the Illumination Awards where it took the gold medal in the General Fiction category. But the response from my readers is what really makes it all worthwhile for me.

Since 2004, Robert Harley Bear has pursued studies in all areas surrounding the legend that Jesus came to Britain during his formative years. His research subjects included archaeology of the late Iron Age in Britain, writings about druids from Irish legends to the annals of Julius Caesar, biblical history, Roman history, and all of the legends of the missing years of Jesus Christ, including those that take Jesus to the Far East. The author began his professional career as an attorney. He retired from active practice in 1998 and took on his current IT day job. In 2005, he was baptized at St. Paul's Parish, K Street, in Washington, DC, where he remains an active parishioner to this day. He enjoys competitive sailboat racing, skiing, and bike riding. He frequently competes with his Albacore in numerous venues where Albacores are raced in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. In 2011 he won the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association High Point trophy for the Albacore Class.
