Friends and Heroes Bible Adventures: The Big Lift

SYNOPSIS

As the people in Jerusalem starve, Macky comes across several sacks of grain that Toadie has stolen for himself and hidden in the Roman camp. With the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand in mind, Macky decides to take the grain into the besieged city. But how?

Is he going to try to use the Romans’ own catapults to send the grain over the walls? That’s what the Romans believe, largely because a spy has told them that. But Macky has a trick or two up his sleeve, and just when it looks like all is lost and his plot is about to be exposed, Macky proves that he has become craftier with age.

As a befuddled Toadie realizes just how badly he has outsmarted himself, Macky and his friends hear the story of the widow whose oil increased beyond all expectation.
